LOWDEN, DESMOND — Bandersnatch

London, Mayflower. 1970, 1st Pbk Ed. (ISBN: 0583117635) Pbk. Book, Alec Sheldon is British, ex-Navy, fireproof. He hardly make a living, just exists on wartime dreams, anis, and unpaid bills. He owns a boat, which is the MTB he commanded during the war. Now she is called Jabberwocky and, like Sheldon himself, she is rotting away in Palma Harbour. 'One of these days', says Barney, Sheldon's former Chief Engineer, 'you're going to do something really nutty, and I want to be there to see you do it'. Barney gets all he asks for, and more, as Sheldon recovers his old fire and fury and sets up the fantastic Operation Bandersnatch. Good>Very Good.
