After three novels, all best-sellers, he resigned.
1. Scend of the Sea In 1909, the crack Blue Anchor liner, the Waratah, sinks without trace, or survivors, off the coast of South Africa. In 1967, the Gemsbok, a Viscount airliner of South African Airways disappears in exactly the same place. To some it is merely an uncanny mystery. To others a tragedy. People like Ian Fairlie, captain of the weather ship Walvis Bay–whose father was the pilot of the Gemsbok and whose grandfather was the first officer of the Waratah. Ian Fairlie has sworn that he will resolve the mystery. But to do so, he must face cyclonic winds and mountainous seas, risking his ship, his life and the woman he loves…
2. A Twist of Sand The south-west coast of Africa is known to sailors as the ‘Skeleton Coast’, on account of the number of wrecks it has claimed. It is not only the most dangerous coast in the world, but the most desolate – and potentially the richest.. During the war, fate had given Lieutenant Commander Peace, R.N. a key to this forbidden place. He had been briefed, in conditions of absolute secrecy, for a deadly game of hide-and-seek with a new type of U-boat so far in advance of its time that even the German High Command distrusted it. Years afterwards, still obsessed by his memories, he is drawn back there and once again he challenges the elements which have through the centuries kept the Skeleton Coast free from the intrusions of man.
3. Hunter-Killer A top-secret mission to launch a revolutionary Anglo-American missile axed by a budget-conscious government; a nuclear submarine carrying to a secret destination the scientist most concerned with its vindication, who happens to be the Vice-President of the United States; a combination of powerful forces intent on preventing the Vice-President arriving in time for the countdown; a British submarine ace who will stop at nothing to ensure the mission’s success and who is none other than Geoffrey Peace, R.N., that memorable figure from A Twist of Sand; these are the ingredients of Geoffrey Jenkins’s latest riveting thriller, set in the uncharted coral seas of the Indian Ocean, where the elements also play their unpredictable part.
4. A Bridge of Magpies Struan Weddell, ex-South African naval officer, is recalled to duty and sent by his former commander on a secret mission to the remote Possession Island off the forbidding Diamond Coast of South-West Africa. Here his mission is to become Headman.
5. The River of Diamonds To John Tregard, the mysterious Shelbourne was an implacable enemy – why did the volcanic rumblings around Mercury Island kill animals and men… but never imperil Shelbourne? What was the secret of the Glory Hole – where a diver died instantly? The goal for both was diamonds under the sea. To get them, men have killed and will kill again. Tregard could handle that – but Shelbourne would not be brought to a clean, head-on confrontation…
6. A Grue of Ice My hands were already at Walter’s throat as he fought to get clear of his harness. I kicked his feet from under him as he fumbled. I was still held in the strait-jacket grip of the Hotchkiss harness. Walter fell, rolled, dragged himself on one elbow, pulling the Lugar from his waistband. He raised the automatic to fire. . .
7. A Cleft of Stars The plane was really near now. But as I flung myself over the wall I saw Rankin kneeling, rifle to shoulder. The range was down to point-blank; there was nothing I could do. The plane’s engine drowned the sound of the shot, but I knew Rankin had fired-and hit his target.
