Blurb

The intrigues of international politics embroil Commodore John Mason Kemp when he is required to transport a division of Australian troops to the USA for training.
Australia is under threat from the Japanese. But these troops, to the anger of the Australian authorities, are reinforcements for Britain's war against the Nazis. Kemp also carries secret intelligence reports that could make it essential for the troops to be returned to Australia. But with one of his sons missing, and enemy pursuit of his convoy, Kemp discovers international events can be influenced by personal motive.
In the third novel of this popular series, Philip McCutchan provides suspense, danger and details of the everyday lives of men at sea, against a bold background of world war.

My RETURNS & POSTAGE and PACKING Policies

If you wish to return a book please let me know as soon as possible but no later than three days after receipt. 

If you feel, and I agree after we have discussed it, that my description was misleading or inaccurate then, upon the receipt of the book in the condition you received it, I will then refund all your payment plus your return postage. 

If the book isn't what you really wanted and if we agree, then, upon my receipt of the book in the condition you received it, I will then refund your bid price.

I have found, so far, that the majority of my buyers are genuine.

For my part I try and describe the books as fairly as possible - I am not a professional - and do not like buyers to feel dissatisfied. 

My Postage and Packing charges are calculated before wrapping as best I can with a very nominal amount added for packaging costs.

With the new Royal Mail UK pricing it is, dependent on the weights, often impractical (and expensive) to pack books together so multiple buys within a seven day period are posted at cost. This means that in the case of Pay Pal payers the first book is sent off for the quoted P & P charge and I either quote for the subsequent P & P minus the overspend on the first book, or if it has been paid, refund the difference.
