In The Corners of the Globe, the story unfolds in the wake of World War I, focusing on James 'Max' Maxted, a former flying ace. After avenging his father's murder, Max is drawn back into a web of intrigue and deception. His father, Sir Henry Maxted, was deeply involved in the British delegation at the post-war peace conference, and Max believes there are hidden truths yet to uncover. The elusive German spymaster, Fritz Lemmer, holds the key to these secrets, and Max suspects he knows more than he lets on.
Now, under the guise of serving Lemmer, Max is torn between his loyalty to the British Secret Service and the dangerous mission he's been assigned. His journey takes him to the remote Orkney Isles, where the German High Seas Fleet is held in Scapa Flow. Max's task is to recover a crucial document from one of the German ships, but the stakes are high, and the clock is ticking. The document could change everything, and Max must navigate a perilous path filled with espionage and betrayal.
As he races against time to deliver the information that could expose Lemmer, Max finds himself in a desperate struggle for survival. With a blend of tension and excitement, The Corners of the Globe offers readers a captivating glimpse into a world where loyalties are tested and secrets threaten to unravel. The narrative is rich with historical detail and thrilling twists, making it a must-read for fans of espionage fiction.
