Hell's Loose

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Hell's Loose' is a high-octane adventure and espionage thriller set against the backdrop of post-World War I international intrigue. The narrative follows Commander Robert Shafto, a man of action who finds himself entangled in a dangerous race to secure a revolutionary scientific breakthrough: a secret formula for synthetic petrol. This discovery has the power to shift global economies and spark international conflict, making Shafto the target of ruthless adversaries and shadowy organizations seeking to control the future of energy. Roland Pertwee weaves a fast-paced tale of suspense, featuring daring escapes, high-stakes negotiations, and the relentless pursuit of a secret that many would kill to obtain. As Shafto navigates a world of deception and peril, the story explores themes of loyalty, ingenuity, and the geopolitical tensions of the early 20th century. 'Hell's Loose' stands as a classic example of the early thriller genre, combining the charm of a gentleman-adventurer with the mounting anxieties of an industrializing world. This gripping work showcases Pertwee's talent for sharp dialogue and cinematic pacing, offering readers a window into the evolution of the modern spy novel.
