Özet

Renegade patriot Harry Lampeter is called back into service by MI6. The Franco-German alliance has occupied the island of Guernsey and plans to invade England. They try to pass their action off as a peacekeeping operation but they have built steam launchers for their flying bombs, high altitude observation balloons for targeting, and "Big Bertha", an enormous gun situated on the French coast that can bombard London.

But all this activity is a smokescreen intended to hide their real intentions: an invasion from a completely different and unexpected direction. The Brigadier, Ms Rigby, Shaky Tom, and erotic dancers Emma and Elsa are all called to play their part in saving Albion. Even Mr Tze Lim’s Chinese Magic Lantern Show, with its cornucopia of "Bare-naked Ladies", has a role to play.

In this third installment of Harry Lampeters boys-own adventure he almost single-handedly stops the Germans invading England!

Well, actually the usual cast of miscreants aid and abet him, resulting in a spot of Ooh-La-La in France and slap & tickle in the home counties.

A light summer read, spiced up with plenty of shenanigans.

Irreverent and irrepressible Harry returns

I having read the first two Harry Lampeter books, bought this on Kindle because I wasn't prepared to wait for the Audible version. The familiar voice of Craig Bowles in the Audible version makes familiar characters more familiar and ties the series together. I personally like continuity and series that use different readers in each volume annoy me. Here the characters I know and like sound as they should. The story like the other Harry Lampeter books, has the feeling of a Boys' Own adventure for adults, very much for adults, and rattles along at a brisk pace. This book has been worth the wait, plenty of action and a satisfactory conclusion. I love that Roger Ley has left a couple of narrative loops open, promising adventures to come. I am looking forward to reading them.

Even better on the second reading.

I really enjoyed this. For the uninitiated this is the third book in the Harry Lampeter alt. history books in which the roguish part-wide boy, part spy gets tangled up in a Franco-German invasion plot. The story starts a little slowly but quickly picks up pace and your soon romping through a familiar setting of high politics and low underworld antics. Although there is a bit of Flemming or Buchan in the audacity of the plot, Harry himself reminds me more of the real life spy Eddie Chapman than his literary equivalents. And Ley clearly knows his history, one of the pleasures of these stories is how Ley sprinkles in historical anecdotes and reframes today's world's politics through the arched lens of a very different future. Much to enjoy here for fans of spies, thrillers and history.

Writer obviously knows his history... lots of fun
