Sobre este artículo
Published by John Murray, London; 1988. 8vo. 246pp. First edition, first impression. Condition; Fine/Fine.
Bound in original black cloth boards with title in gilt to the spine. The binding is square and tight and in excellent condition with just a hint of bumping to the corners and spine ends. Inside, the pages are clean, bright and free from blemishes, with just some slight speckling to the top edge.
This beautiful book is housed in its original, first issue dust jacket. The jacket is vibrant and bright with no marks or damage save the slightest hint of bumping to the top of the spine.
In all, this is a lovely example of this first edition from Woodman's Nathaniel Drinkwater series. The novel follows Drinkwater in 1807, when he is once again dispatched on a semi-secret mission by spymaster Lord Dungarth, is tempted by a foreign beauty, and captured by his enemies. This time, though, the mission takes place in the Pacific Northwest, where Drinkwater is sent to foil Russian attempts at south-of-Alaska settlement and to prevent a Russo-Spanish alliance in northern California. Richard Woodman retired from a 37 nautical career in 1997 in order to commit to writing full time. He is both a novelist and a naval historian, and his Nathaniel Drinkwater series is made up of 14 book, of which this is the 8th.
