Number Seventeen
by Louis Tracy
'Number Seventeen' Summary
The novel begins with a discussion of the possible dangers posed by advances in air technology and the threat of aerial warfare. This theme dominates the book, whose Asian "bad guys" represent the so-called Yellow Peril (widespread fears that the growing powers of Japan, China and other Asian countries posed great threats to the west). "The law" is here represented by Scotland Yard's Chief Superintended Winter and his friend, enemy and side-kick, Inspector Furneaux.Book Details
