Harry Cardeston, 18, fails his final exams at a Shrewsbury school and faces a run-in with his traditional father. He decides to run from the stuffy country estate on the Welsh border he has grown up on, to enlist in the Navy in London. There, intelligence agent Tigwent enlists him on a daring evacuation plan to rescue youngsters from the East End of London by ship. However, all is not what it seems, and soon he is embroiled in a cat-and-mouse survival game at sea against a rival and enemy Tobias Late, with a number of children acting as human shields for his cargo of art and treasure. Fast-forward to 2015, and Harry's three grandchildren visit his retirement cottage in St Agnes, Cornwall, at half term, determined to grill him for the truth about his youth. He faces the second biggest challenge of his life with gusto, |You ask for the truth about war. I accept your challenge. I will provide you with what you need to equip yourselves for the future... for adult life. Let me explain my story of bravery, adventure and romance!|At midnight Harry began weaving a web of deceit, revenge and betrayal. From New York, to New Zealand, from smoky whiskey bars to tribesmen dancing on South Sea beaches, and good friends made in tough times, his adventure delineates the terrible global scope of World War Two in an entrancing adventure thriller set in far-flung destinations and populated by larger than life characters.But over the course of an intense sleet-soaked week, his grandchildren use a combination of modern-day cynicism, cunning, interrogation and the internet to find out the terrible truth behind events in the 1940s and the reasons behind Harry's anxieties and reluctance to leave the house. From Auschwitz to Hiroshima, there are echoes of the loss of innocence.The extraordinary horror that defined his childhood cuts deep and has far-reaching consequences. His grandchildren decide to take matters into their own hands, and settle a few serious scores. As all generations agree: If you want to change the world, you have to start with your own village.The echoes of sadness in the story resonate back to Shropshire, where Harry has one last score to settle. And there, his grandchildren seal the fate of the people in his childhood village, where gold lies hidden.SOS asks the question, |What would you do?|This debut book by Talisen Threadneedle was inspired by the SS City of Benares and by a collection of maps from her own adventures.
