Final story
Horne Fisher meets Marsh, the journalist, who is about to blow the lid off a scandal involving high ranking British politicians. H-F convinces Marsh to come to a weekend meeting first. The corrupt men are, in fact, contriving a way to save Britain. Corrupt in their personal ways, they remain true to the English ideal. Except for H-F's uncle. H-F has to kill him to keep him from betraying England. Then, in an apocalyptic finale, H-F shows the English/Irish where the invading Germans are, and dies in the process.
Quite a story . . . audacious on many levels. Very much "England the greatest country in the world" in spite of the flaws of English individuals. The group is much, much greater than the individuals.
