Sink The Prince of Wales
Malaya, November 1941Major Nairns, former tea planter and now Acting Major in the Malaya Scouts, is on an intelligence patrol on the country's border with Siam when he stumbles on a Japanese seaplane reconnaissance base. With inter-national unrest looming, Nairns' instincts tell him they are up to no good.
Further surveillance reveals the Japanese plan to eliminate any British ship which might interfere with their proposed landing on the outbreak of war. There is only one such ship at risk: the brand-new, `unsinkable' HMS Prince of Wales.
In a desperate race against time, Nairns sets out to warn the authorities, pursued by the feared Colonel Moto and his secret kemptei police. If Nairns fails, there will be nothing to stop the Japanese taking over the whole Peninsula .. .Author
Duncan Harding is a pseudonym for Charles Whiting, who also writes as Leo Kessler and John Kerrigan.
Born in York in 1926, Charles Whiting volunteered for the Army aged sixteen in 1943, where he saw active service in Belgium, Holland and Germany with the 52nd Reconnaissance Regiment. After leaving university in 1953 he went to live abroad and worked as an editor, businessman, Times Educational Supplement correspondent, and later as an assistant professor and lecturer at several universities around the world. He became a full-time writer in 1973, and returned to write in England in 1988.
Charles Whiting now has over 200 books published, encompassing military history, espionage, biography and action fiction. Holder of the Sir George Dowty Prize for Literature, he is one of the most popular borrowed authors in UK lending libraries. Previous Duncan Harding novels include The Tobruk Rescue, Operation Siormwind, Operation Judgement, Attack New York!, Assault at St Nazaire, Sink the Ark Royal and most recently, Sink the Graf Spee, also available from Severn House.

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.
I am happy to pack together multiple buys made within a seven day period and post at cost as long as total value of purchases in the packet does not exceed the Royal Mail's built in compensation, which at the moment is £34.00.
