Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the two world wars, a demobilized British ex-officer became the most beloved fictional character since Sherlock Holmes. Captain Hugh Drummond--better known as "Bulldog"--was the hero of seventeen novels and more than twenty films, stage plays, and BBC radio programs. The series was popular enough, in fact, to outlive the original author, Herman Cyril McNeile ("Sapper"), and to withstand the interruption occasioned by the Second World War before finally disappearing from the public eye in the 1950s, with the introduction of the James Bond character. The books are now out of print and only a few videos of the films can be found. This volume contains complete descriptions and detailed information on the characters and the world of Bulldog Drummond, a world rife with Bolsheviks, terrorists, spies, saboteurs, Packards, English Channel packets, Rolls-Royces, castles, mastiffs, and tarantulas.

Download or read book Bulldog Drummond written by H. C. McNeile and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-04-07 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain Hugh Drummond, D.S.O., M.C., is back from the war, and is bored. Seeking adventure, he places a newspaper advert with services offered in exchange for excitement, and a reply from a woman needing help piques his interest. What follows is a back and forth engagement with a shadowy criminal cabal determined to cause mayhem for the British establishment—and to profit from it. Luckily for Britain, “Bulldog” Drummond is up for the fight. Bulldog Drummond was the first book of ten by H. C. McNeile (writing under the pen name of “Sapper”) to deal with the eponymous hero; a series that was later expanded to nineteen novels and many further plays, films and short stories by later authors. The novel was an immediate success, with its combination of gentlemanly daring and high melodrama striking a chord with the public of the time. Drummond’s appeal to the modern audience has faded: he’s a character of his time, with views that reflect the British Empire’s thinking of the 1920s. His influence, however, lives on in later men of adventure, including James Bond and Biggles.
