Never Surrender returns to several of Foreman’s established worlds. At Alesia, Lucius Oppius must find Vercingetorix’s gold while Caesar’s army faces encirclement. Rufus Varro attends a Roman party as a spy, Dick Turpin becomes the intended victim of a highway robbery, and Raffles plans to rob Lord Rosebery. A final Pat Hobby story follows the ageing screenwriter’s attempt to reclaim past success.
The collection links public courage with private desperation. Soldiers and criminals refuse defeat, but persistence may be vanity, loyalty or simple fear rather than nobility. By placing a famous battle beside shorter crimes and social deceptions, the book shows how the same narrative of endurance can produce heroic legend in one setting and comic failure in another.
