As Europe see-saws between war and peace,Charles Speedicut finds himself involved in a seriesof clandestine missions for both the British SecretIntelligence Service and the equally secretive Brotherhoodof the Sons of Thunder. From the concentration camp atDachau, where Book 5 of The Speedicut Memoirs opens, via Whitehall,Czechoslovakia, Poland, Bavaria, Switzerland and France,Speedicut is involved in plots to frustrate the British government spolicy of appeasement, assassinate Hitler, obtain an ENIGMAmachine and as German tanks roll through the Low Countriesinto France to rescue vitally important stocks of goldand diamonds, France s leading scientists and theworld s entire stock of heavy water . I attribute the failure of appeasement to theinterference of Charles Speedicut. In consequence,I blame him for the Second World War The Rt Hon Neville Chamberlain Speedicut will be the death of me, unlessI eliminate him first as I intend to.
