PER FINE OUNCE
by Peter Vollmer
‘Per Fine Ounce’ is inspired by the revered South African author, Geoffrey Jenkins’ mythic ‘lost’ James Bond continuation novel manuscript, who was a friend of Ian Fleming.
With permission from the Jenkins Estate to use the title and main character name, Peter’s novel continues in the adventures of Commander Geoffrey Peace, an ex-Submarine commander seconded to MI6 and sent undercover to South Africa to check on an ultra-right-wing Afrikaner group who are active in gold-mining and thought to have a gold bullion shipment en route to Britain.
This group have acquired nuclear weapons before those in the South African arsenal were dismantled. MI6 have reason to believe that these weapons have been secreted away in a mine in the desert.
This is Peter’s 6th novel and the first in a trilogy of Commander Geoffrey Peace novels.

Reviews
“Vollmer is able to vividly sketch terrains and characters he knows from first-hand experience and he’s no slouch pushing forward a dramatic and suspenseful story. Vollmer is just as good as Geoffrey Jenkins when it comes to well-drawn action scenes.”
