Mason, F[rancis] Van Wyck End of Track London The Book Club 1946 The Book Club Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket "Francis Van Wyck Mason (November 11, 1901 - August 28, 1978, Bermuda) was an American historian and novelist. He had a long and prolific career as a writer spanning 50 years and including 78 published novels, many of which were best sellers and well received....Mason's writing style was colorful though straightforward. He seems to use his own voice in telling these stories in the third person, though he only lets a little of his personality come through as narrator. His stories usually revolve around a heroic gentleman character. This hero is usually a little rough around the edges and may be forced to extreme measures by circumstances, but in the end, comes out on top. Based on his own life which involved extensive travel, his stories are usually either set in exotic locations, as in the Hugh North stories, or involve main characters who are getting about quite a bit. His historical stories nearly always involve some kind of warfare and frequently include naval battles or long sea voyages. Most of his historical novels are prefaced by a fairly lengthy (usually several pages) discussion of the historical setting and context of his story. Often, through his fictional characters, Mason recounts the story of some significant but not widely known historical event. Actual historical figures are occasionally introduced as minor characters in the plot. While one may learn a little history and geography when reading his works, the main point of his stories is the excitement provided as he first makes the reader care about his main characters and then puts them into dire circumstances where they have to fight for their lives."

Mason, F[rancis] Van Wyck Rivers Of Glory Philidelphia & New York J. B. Lippincott Company 1942 First Edition Hard Cover Good No Jacket "Francis Van Wyck Mason (November 11, 1901 - August 28, 1978, Bermuda) was an American historian and novelist. He had a long and prolific career as a writer spanning 50 years and including 65 published novels....Mason was still selling historical stories for the pulps during this period and in 1938 returned to the genre for a major novel, Three Harbours, about the early phases of the American Revolution. By this time Mason was doing very well indeed as he was able to split his time between Nantucket, Bermuda, and Maryland. When delivering the manuscript from Nantucket, he was caught in the middle of the New England Hurricane of 1938 and had many close calls which may have ended his career right there.[2] Fortunately the manuscript was a long one and he was able to use it as a defense against flying debris.[3] He made it to New York and the book turned out to be very popular and changed his focus to historical fiction for the rest of his career, though he would continue to write Hugh North stories until 1968. He wrote two more companion books to Three Harbours, Stars on the Sea and Rivers of Glory, " Wikipedia Good blue cloth. Map endpapers. Some edge and spine wear, rear cover soiling. 572pp. Price:
