Stealthy Terror. Illustrated

When the First World War looms over Europe in 1914, young Scottish medical student Hugh Abercromby finds himself entangled in danger after a dying stranger thrusts a cryptic document into his hands. What seems a chance encounter quickly reveals itself as the opening move in a dangerous German plot to invade England.

From Berlin to Hamburg, across Scotland, and finally to the quiet cliffs near Dover, Hugh is relentlessly pursued by enemy agents. Betrayals, shadowy figures, and impersonations await him at every turn. Assisted by Margarita Thompson, a courageous young musician, he must decipher codes, evade assassins, and unravel conspiracies before time runs out.

Ferguson’s novel blends the urgency of wartime espionage with the sweeping landscapes and moral tension characteristic of Golden Age thrillers. Stealthy Terror is a fast‑paced adventure that tests loyalty, courage, and wits—perfect for anyone who loves spy stories, chase sequences, and the thrill of being hunted.
