A splendid and rousing adventure to warm the cockles of any patriotic young chap whilst he whiles away a few happy hours on a glorious English summer afternoon or as he makes his merry way to his job in the city. A stirring tale for fellows from ages 8 to 80 (please note: some sections may be distressing for colonials). God save the Queen!Novelist Nick Connell parodies military adventure stories with this collection of amusing and bizarre short stories. Travel to medieval Spain to watch El Cid fight with a badger tucked under his arm. Encounter drugged up CIA agents as they plot how a moose legion might change the tide of the Vietnam war. Marvel at the magnificent, ridiculous and idiotic Charge of The Llama Brigade!
