46/50: Devil To Pay by C. Northcote Parkinson. I think my previous comments on this were sufficient. I'll just add that I found several egregious spelling errors in the text and one or two places where I think the author may either have lost track of the story or just lost interest in it. One of the more egregious comes when the hero, shipwrecked in the vicinity of St Jean de Luz near the Franco-Spanish border decides--for no explicable reason----that the rendezvous with the people who are to pick him up should be at Cadiz, over 700 miles away through a neutral country expected to join the enemy at any moment. WTF?
