Man Overboard

Author(s): Binding Tim

Thriller

Lionel 'Buster' Crabb became renowned during the Second World War for his amazing feats of underwater daring. After the war, he was celebrated for embodying a particular English ideal - a love for King and Country - that seemed to be dying out. Then, in 1956, during a visit to Britain by Nikita Khrushchev, who had arrived by ship, Commander Crabb disappeared. Some thought he had perished while attempting to inspect the Soviet vessel; others that he had been kidnapped and forced to work for the USSR. Out of this mystery, Tim Binding has spun a wondrous piece of fiction. It is the story of a man who has made deep personal sacrifices for the sake of higher ideals and who must, towards the end of his days, measure their meaning and their worth. Praise for "Man Overboard": 'Such an arresting subject for a novel that one wonders why no one ever thought of it before... Binding fashions a convincing picture of a restless postwar world... a consistently entertaining and resourceful novel' - D. J. Taylor, "Guardian".
