Description: Great Britain, Severn House. 1999, First Edition. (ISBN: 072782239X). Hardcover. Book, "Captain James St John Stanier, formerly Porth Ardur's ambitious Harbour Master, has now been elected a Commissioner of Celtic Lighthouses. And from this elevated position he is determined to get even with Septimus Macready, captain of the lighthouse tender, Caryatid, for whom he nurses a long term grievance. So when Macready's ship literally steam-rollers Bishop Island's bakery, Stanier sees a heaven-sent opportunity to encompass the ruin of his old rival. Stanier is eager for power and influence - and the prospect of open-cast mining in the area holds considerable appeal. MacReady finds himself fighting for the traditional maritime community who cannot afford to see the Caryatid - and their livelihoods - scrapped. As tension builds and old loyalties are put to the test, both sides anticipate stormy seas ahead." Book has a couple of stamps and stickers, library issue illustrated boards binding but is otherwise clean and sound. The jacket is in very good condition and not price-clipped. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Very good-/Very Good.
