Over dit e-boek

You’ll enjoy Pook and Honners in the Indian Navy, savouring the sweet life of the East. Honners breaks with naval tradition by opening a boarding-house in Bombay, providing a base for his ever-growing collection of war trophies.

But that ruthless disciplinarian, Commander Bray, brings the war against Japan to their notice, and they experience the terrors of night convoy sailing. Here Pook becomes the first Navigating Officer ever to witness the sun rising in the west without another ship of the convoy in sight.

Pook and Honners are selected to lead the landing party on the Ramsami beach-head, where they come under fire from the Japanese and their own Task Force. How they escape the Japanese by working in a Ramsami house of ill-fame is a hilarious climax to another extremely funny Pook book.

Over de auteur

PETER POOK, brilliant wit and author of more than twenty funny books, was at various times in his life, boxer, footballer, bank clerk, diver, Royal Marine, Indian Navy Lieutenant, antique dealer, estate agent, car dealer, schoolmaster, lecturer, author—and laugh-master par excellence.

His fans range from nine to ninety and letters and emails are still being received from all over the world.

In response to public demand, Emissary published all the Peter Pook novels into paperback, and, in the process, added a new generation of Pook readers to his growing army of fans.
