Bulldog Drummond. By H. C. McNeile FULL Audiobook
Bulldog Drummond is a captivating novel by H. C. McNeile, published under his pen name "Sapper". The story introduces us to the enigmatic character of Captain Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, a First World War veteran who finds himself disillusioned with the monotony of post-war life. Seeking excitement and adventure, Drummond places an intriguing advertisement in The Times:

This bold proclamation sets the stage for a series of thrilling exploits that propel Drummond into a world of danger, intrigue, and unexpected romance.

One would have thought, with the invention of the wireless radio, that piracy would be a thing of the past. Jim Maitland, and the passengers and crew of the SS Andaman, were to discover that modern pirates could use the wireless, too.
"The Seven Missionaries" appeared in "McClure’s Magazine," October 1923, pages 35 - 41.
=====
Herman Cyril McNeile, MC (28 September 1888 – 14 August 1937), publishing under the name H. C. McNeile or the pseudonym "Sapper," was a British soldier and author. Drawing on his experiences in the trenches during the First World War, he started writing short stories for the Daily Mail. As serving officers in the British Army were not permitted to publish under their own names, he was given the pen name "Sapper" by Lord Northcliffe, then owner of the Daily Mail; the nickname was based on that of his corps, the Royal Engineers. After the war, McNeile left the army and continued writing, although he changed from war stories to thrillers. He was one of the most successful British popular authors of the inter-war period before his death in 1937 from throat cancer, which has been attributed to damage sustained from a gas attack in the war.
In 1920 he published Bulldog Drummond, whose eponymous hero became his best-known creation. The character was based on McNeile himself, on his friend Gerard Fairlie, and on English gentlemen generally. McNeile wrote ten Bulldog Drummond novels, as well as three plays and a screenplay. McNeile interspersed his "Drummond" works with other novels and story collections that included two characters who appeared as protagonists in their own works; Jim Maitland and Ronald Standish.

Bulldog Drummond. By H. C. McNeile FULL Audiobook
Bulldog Drummond is a captivating novel by H. C. McNeile, published under his pen name "Sapper". The story introduces us to the enigmatic character of Captain Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, a First World War veteran who finds himself disillusioned with the monotony of post-war life. Seeking excitement and adventure, Drummond places an intriguing advertisement in The Times:
"Demobilized officer, finding peace incredibly tedious, would welcome diversion. Legitimate, if possible; but crime, if of a comparatively humorous description, no objection. Excitement essential."
This bold proclamation sets the stage for a series of thrilling exploits that propel Drummond into a world of danger, intrigue, and unexpected romance.
## Overview:
- Captain Hugh Drummond: A wealthy gentleman and former officer in the fictional Royal Loamshire Regiment, Drummond seeks purpose beyond the mundane. His experiences in the trenches during the war have left him both brutalized and bored.
- The Breed: Drummond belongs to a unique class of Englishmen—patriotic, loyal, and morally intrepid. He embodies the spirit of adventure and fearlessness.
- Carl Peterson: The central antagonist, Peterson becomes Drummond's nemesis. Their encounters are marked by cunning plots, narrow escapes, and high-stakes confrontations.
- Irma: Peterson's alluring mistress, Irma is the classic femme fatale. Her beauty conceals treacherous intentions, and she weaves her web around Drummond.
- Phyllis Benton: Drummond's client-turned-wife, Phyllis becomes entangled in his escapades. Often kidnapped by his enemies, she adds emotional depth to the narrative.
## The Evolution of Bulldog Drummond:
1. Detective Beginnings: Initially, McNeile introduced Drummond as a detective in a short story for The Strand Magazine. However, this portrayal lacked impact.
2. Thrilling Transformation: In the novel Bulldog Drummond, McNeile reworked the character into a thrilling adventurer. The book was a success, and Drummond's popularity soared.
3. Continuation: McNeile penned ten Drummond novels, four short stories, four stage plays, and a screenplay before his death in 1937. His friend Gerard Fairlie continued the series from 1938 to 1954.
## Adaptations:
- Stage: In 1921, the first novel was adapted for the London stage, with Gerald du Maurier portraying Drummond.
- Silent Film: The 1922 silent film Bulldog Drummond, starring Carlyle Blackwell, brought the character to the silver screen.
- Legacy: Drummond's legacy extends to radio, television, and graphic novels.
In the waning days of World War I, Drummond's journey begins—a blend of courage, wit, and a thirst for adventure that keeps readers eagerly turning the pages. 📖🔍

The Dinner Club Chapter 1 (Actor's Story) - H. C. Mcneile "Sapper" - Audiobook
On a certain day in the year of grace 1920, there came into being a special and very select club. There was no entrance fee and no subscription, in which respect it differed from all other clubs. Its membership was limited to six: the Actor, the Barrister, the Doctor, the Ordinary Man, the Soldier, and the Writer. And since each in his own particular trade had achieved what the world calls fame, except the Ordinary Man, who was only ordinary, it was decided that for purposes of convenience they should be entered in the list of members alphabetically according to their trade, and further that they should carry out the only rule of the club in the order of that entry. And the only rule of the club was, that on certain nights, to be mutually agreed on, the member whose turn it was should give to the remaining members an exceedingly good dinner, after which he should tell them a story connected with his own trade, that should be of sufficient interest to keep them awake.
And the only penalty of the club was that if the story was not of sufficient interest to keep the audience awake, the offending member should pay a sum of ten pounds to a deserving charity.
No rule was deemed necessary as to the quality of the dinner: the members had elected themselves with discretion.

The Dinner Club Chapter 2 (The Barrister’s Story) - H. C. Mcneile "Sapper" - Audiobook
On a certain day in the year of grace 1920, there came into being a special and very select club. There was no entrance fee and no subscription, in which respect it differed from all other clubs. Its membership was limited to six: the Actor, the Barrister, the Doctor, the Ordinary Man, the Soldier, and the Writer. And since each in his own particular trade had achieved what the world calls fame, except the Ordinary Man, who was only ordinary, it was decided that for purposes of convenience they should be entered in the list of members alphabetically according to their trade, and further that they should carry out the only rule of the club in the order of that entry. And the only rule of the club was, that on certain nights, to be mutually agreed on, the member whose turn it was should give to the remaining members an exceedingly good dinner, after which he should tell them a story connected with his own trade, that should be of sufficient interest to keep them awake.
And the only penalty of the club was that if the story was not of sufficient interest to keep the audience awake, the offending member should pay a sum of ten pounds to a deserving charity.
No rule was deemed necessary as to the quality of the dinner: the members had elected themselves with discretion.
