{"product_id":"045055","title":"The Cruise of the Commissioner (The Sequel to Captain of the Caryatid)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Captain James St John Stanier, formerly Porth Ardur's ambitious Harbour Master, has now been elected a Commissioner of Celtic Lighthouses. And from this elevated position he is determined to get even with Septimus Macready, captain of the lighthouse tender, Caryatid, for whom he nurses a long term grievance. So when Macready's ship literally steam-rollers Bishop Island's bakery, Stanier sees a heaven-sent opportunity to encompass the ruin of his old rival. Stanier is eager for power and influence - and the prospect of open-cast mining in the area holds considerable appeal. MacReady finds himself fighting for the traditional maritime community who cannot afford to see the Caryatid - and their livelihoods - scrapped. As tension builds and old loyalties are put to the test, both sides anticipate stormy seas ahead.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBook has a couple of stamps and stickers, library issue illustrated boards binding but is otherwise clean and sound.
