Publisher Description

Demobilised officer, finding peace incredibly tedious, would welcome diversion. Legitimate if possible; excitement essential. When Captain Hugh Drummond, DSO, MC placed that advertisement, he was looking for adventure. What he finds is an international plot headed by the greatest criminal mastermind in the world. For the sake of the beautiful Phyllis, he faces murderous schemers, acid baths and even wild animals in his attempts to save her father's and his own life. In this, his first appearance, Bulldog Drummond is charming, undaunted and endlessly resourceful: the template of the modern action hero.

"Written in the 1920s Bulldog Drummond was an inspiration to Ian Fleming for the James Bond books. While some of the slang is a bit difficult to understand you can still enjoy the caper while being assured that our hero will live to fight another day."

    " After reading this book I now understand why Bulldog Drummond is the pre Bond. He is witty, brave, nerves of steel, moral and laughs in the face of danger. A thoroughly enjoyable read - will be reading the rest of the series. "

    " one of the better sort of 'shilling shockers'. "

    " 4.5 stars! This book was utterly delightful brain candy and I enjoyed every minute-- though minus half a star for a gorilla. "

    " A refreshing start, great narrative and vivid descriptions throughout. It might have, however, been dragged on too much without much of a climax and some of the events seemed a bit far fetched to be believable. "

    " Rather an amusing tale of daring-do. The writing was actually of a better quality than expected for the era and the type of book it was. Bull-dog Drummond really is a prototype for James Bond. "

    " For the Historical Mystery Book Group, July discussion. A real adventure yarn with all the post WW I rah rah Brits in action. A bit derogatory about 'others', but nothing as egregious as John Buchan's 39 Steps. Very enjoyable read/ "

    " OK, OK it's dated and very politically incorrect but it's great fun. The very British hero defeats all those beastly foreigners. Plus the image of the baddy's girlfriend, the chain smoking Irma, stayed with me through my teenage years. "

    " Proto-James Bond and not very good. "

    " Good romping old yarn, though definitely of its time. Not hard to see why Ian Fleming seemingly based some of Bond on Bulldog. A true British hero in the days when the empire could still strike back. "

    " Totally not what I was expecting given what's been said about it in the past. Umm... not awful, not great. possibly just not in the mood. Maybe I need to revisit this one and subsequent stories again. Why do I feel bad for not loving the s**t out of it... "

    " I bet Sapper wished that he hadn't saddled Drummond with a wife at the end of his first outing. "
