Wardington-Smythe is Britain's greatest hero; gentleman adventurer, master marksman, expert fencer and all-round doer of derring. He is exactly the kind of man you want on the job when the Imperial Commonwealth faces its greatest peril. It's a shame that he's fictional. The task of saving the Commonwealth falls instead to Wardington-Smyth's creator, a novelist for whom adventure is changing his supplier of bacon. Aided only by a street urchin of dubious morality, Spenser Warwick must solve the mystery of scented letters, vanishing airships and abducted ladies whilst not getting drugged in public conveniences. At least not again. Adventure is certainly not how he imagined it. SPENSER GOES NORTH is the new novel from the author of the Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. series.
