Customer Reviews

This has been a favorite of mine for 50 years

Manning Coles ( pair of authors) has their secret agent kidnapped to Nazi Germany (by an error on the German's part) where he becomes helpful in minor sabotage before escaping back to England. This is a paperback version, but it is identical to the hardcover version. I was missing the last page of the hardcover copy, and the last page is identical, word for word.

Green Hazard

This book is important to me as it was the first Manning Coles novel I read which introduced me to the world of Tommy Hambledon. This story takes place in NAZI Germany where our hero is duping the Germans with a new explosive. Hambledon had previously been a high official in the Berlin police department but escaped prior to WWII breaking out. That is elucidiated in A DRINK TO YESTERDAY (and that book is followed by A TOAST TO TOMMORROW) which explains how a British secret agent in WWI finds himself to be an amnesiac German sailor who eventually joins NAZI party and becomes a senior poilice official.
