The Guns of Arrest
Lieutenant St Vincent Halfhyde, RN, is appointed to the battleship Prince Consort, to proceed to South Africa on a special mission: to apprehend Sir Russell Savory, who has fled the country with secret blueprints of the forthcoming naval construction program. Halfhyde, together with Detective Inspector Todhunter, must find Savory before he can make contact with Berlin, but the Prince Consort is overhauled by the German Special Service Squadron-with the obvious intention of beating the British Navy in the race for Sir Russell Savory.
