Sobre IBD

It is the summer of 1853 and Commander James Rutherford leaves Calcutta once more to renew his campaign against organised Oriental piracy. The principal pirate leader Liang Ziu is dead, but Rutherford obtains intelligence that his criminal organisation continues to operate from a heavily fortified base, secure from conventional attack. Beset anew by intrigue and treachery, Rutherford must somehow confront and destroy this final stronghold, a task which poses difficulties and trials unlike any he has yet encountered.*****Martin Hicks lives in Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire and began writing after a career in education. Set in the Far East, The Final Stronghold which continues the story of James Rutherford and his ship Spartan is his fifteenth book. He is currently at work on a fourth title in this series.By the same author:A Gathering of SoldiersHard Passage NorthThe Rappahannock LineMirage of VictoryThe Bitterest EnemyA Season for KillingA Deepening TwilightBond of BloodPalmettoAn Instrument of WarNothing Without HonourThe Turn of FateAn Independent CommandThe Trail of the Scorpion
