UVNEY AT SEA -

. .

Résumé :
Following the brilliant success of Ebenezer Uvney's classic account of the macabre happenings at Crone Castle (THE GHOST AT CRONE), the old man was persuaded by Orrydian Press to recount some of his own adventures, for - though a solitary, literary gentleman - he has nonetheless been involved 'behind the scenes' in some of the strangest mysteries of the past centuries.

This present narrative gives, for the first time, the true facts in the matter of a desperate struggle to save mankind from the forces of confusion. Uvney himself was a key player in this dangerous game, and in this book he reveals what really happened when the risk was most pressing, and all hope for civilisation seemed to be lost.

Working with a select group of colleagues, Uvney needed all the skill, courage and intellect that he could muster. Yet even with his prodigious gifts and dedicated zeal, the outcome of the affair was uncertain until the very end of the story. This book, expressly designed to be read, will finally explain why Uvney, a land animal if ever there was one, found it necessary to go to Sea.

Ebenezer duLally Gasp Uvney (the Gasp is silent, or nearly so) is well-known for his scintillating and erudite introductions to several volumes in Orrydian's series of beautifully illustrated new editions of classical literature.
