About This Item
Great Britain: Severn House, 1999. Book. Good. Hardcover. First Edition. "Captain James St John Stanier, formerly Porth Ardur's ambitious Harbour Master, has now been elected a Commissioner of Celtic Lighthouses. And from this elevated position he is determinded to get even with Septimus Macready, captain of the lighthouse tender, Caryatid, for whom he nurses a long term grievance. So when Macready's ship literally steam-rollers Bishop Island's bakery, Stanier sees a heaven-sent opportunity to encompass the ruin of his old rival. Stanier is eager for power and influence - and the prospect of open-cast mining in the area holds considerable appeal. MacReady finds himself fighting for the traditional maritime community who cannot afford to see the Caryatid - and their livelihoods - scrapped. As tension builds and old loyalties are put to the test, both sides anticipate stormy seas ahead." Book has typical stamps and stickers, library issue illustrated boards binding but is otherwise clean and sound. The jacket is in very good condition and not price-clipped. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
