A scarce 1953 book in good condition >>> A thriller about a nuclear bomb placed on board a ship to be exploded in the middle of a naval review. The Russians aim at destroying the entire British fleet and the nation's leaders, including the queen. The bomb is detected in the nick of time and towed out to explode harmlessly at sea. The author seems to be seriously concerned about this precise danger, but the novel could be read as a warning against surreptitious nuclear strikes in general - (Now why am I thinking of a baby-faced Korean ?)
