Will the ghosts of Biggles, the Phantom and Superman take note!! You are not a patch on Jake Sands, mild-mannered professor with nerves of steel!! This novel has "movie" written all over it.Roger Weston has penned another fast-paced, great blokey novel which even women can enjoy - well I did  :)Jake Sands discovers that a madman named Richter is planning to do something underhand with the ex-ocean liner, the Queen Mary, which he has purchased with a great deal of publicity. Despite reassurances to the former owners that he plans to re-fit and re-sell the famous vessel, Richter's hidden agenda is to wreak revenge on... well, you need to read the book as I don't plan to give spoilers!Fortunately for Jake, he is helped by his assistant, Ashley - with whom he has a nebulous romantic relationship - and his best mate who has an alcoholic problem. With these two, and the help of an ex-jockey and a lazy racehorse, Jake goes into battle.Great fantasy fun for everyone, including the crooks!
