Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Biggles gets caught up in a game of spies! Biggles is deep undercover on a reconnaissance operation in Norway. His alias: Norwegian citizen Sven Hendrik. His mission: to map useful landing sites for British aircraft. But when the Germans invade without warning, Biggles finds himself trapped. Using his passable Norwegian, his fluent German and one hell of a bluff, he is able to pass himself off as a German sympathiser, and is quickly admitted into the German Air Force! This puts him in a unique position to gather vital information on the enemy, and British Air Intelligence instructs him to stay where he is. Biggles must work quickly to send intelligence back home, whilst also helping the Germans track down a known British pilot believed to be in the area. Only, the pilot’s name is familiar – very familiar, in fact... Out in the cold and taking orders from both sides, Biggles’ loyalty is put to the test.

Biggles in the Jungle

By: Captain W. E. Johns

Biggles learns the law of the jungle. It is the late 1930s. With the after-images of the Roaring Twenties fading and the world heading once more towards conflict, Biggles, Algy and Ginger head for tropical climes, and the trio layover in Belize. While there, Biggles looks up his old pal Carruthers, Acting Governor of the territory, who is having problems. Someone – rumours abound about a self-styled ‘King of the Forest’ – is interrupting the flow of the nation’s chief export, chicle, which is used to make chewing gum. In addition, three Americans have gone missing in the jungle, reportedly looking for treasure. Belize has no air force, and so Biggles volunteers to take his amphibious aircraft, Wanderer, upriver to investigate... Biggles flies again on another international adventure, perfect for fans of Derek Robinson and Max Hennessy.

Voyages of Discovery (Squashed Edition)

By: Captain James Cook

The Squashed edition of Voyages of Discovery by Captain James Cook. Abridged from the original text to read in an hour or so. Squashed editions are precise abridgements - the original ideas, in their own words, the full beam of the book, the quotable quotes and all the famous lines, but neatly honed down to the length of a readable short story. ""Like reading the bible without all the begats"" - Prof. Jim Curtis
