RIGHT OF REPLY

by John Harris ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 26, 1968

John Harris writes hardbitten adventure stories of one kind or another and this has the Knebel label the heavy thumb on the panic button. Hodges is the commander of Hodge-force, a British unit sent to reoccupy Malala in darkest Africa. But before long it becomes clear that this police action could spread to nuclear annihilation. . . . Russian submarines move within striking distance. . . and the Prime Minister gives every civilian the Right of Reply which leads to an active demonstration in London. . . . It would be hard to recognize a single face and they all sound the same (stiff upper lips sputtering blasteds and bloodies) but the novel is structured with a degree of professionalism. Right of Reply? Calculated risk.
