Subtitle: A Simon Fonthill Novel Author: John Wilcox Publisher: Allison and Busby () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 384 Dimensions: 19.8 x 13 x 2.5 cm +++ by John Wilcox +++ It's and China is in chaos. The Boxers, a cult of young peasants who blame the foreign barbarians - particularly the missionaries - for the nation's ills, are rampaging through the country killing foreigners.  China's Dowager Empress - 'The Dragon Lady' - secretly encourages them. Simon Fonthill, former captain and army scout, his wife Alice, Jenkins, his former batman and trusted companion, and Chang, a missionary's adopted son, volunteer to slip through the enemy lines to bring help. It proves to be Fonthill's most dangerous mission yet.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
