Pook's adventures in the Royal Ramsami Navy - started in Pook Sahib and Pook's Eastern Promise - continue here in Pook's China Doll with a remarkable tale set on the notorious China Coast.
Pook and Honners sail East on board the Soonong under the harsh discipline of Commander Bray to carry out a secret mission of locating a spy. Honners uses the voyage to incease his collection of antiques and other objets d'art, before teaming with Pook to track down the spy - a beautiful woman whom Pook falls in love with.
We learn of the tough life at sea under Commander Bray's ruthless domination, Honners' attempt to desert in the guise of a Buddhist monk, and Pook's terrifying experience in the mountains when trapped by a monster.
For the first time we enjoy a visit to the celebrated China Coast bar of Tsingtao Susie on the Hwang-Chai-Fong waterfront, where Pook's interest in a hostess leads to alcoholic mayhem among the world's toughest seamen.
Another hilarious logbook for seafarers and landlubbers alike.
Genre: General Fiction
