Synopsis

Robin is Tom Sharpe mixed with a dose of Montgomery of Alamein and lightly drizzled with essence of Alexander McCall Smith. The book, whose title is Last Orders at the Changamire Arms, tells the story of the characters he knew during the dying days of Rhodesia. It is witty, wonderfully crafted, brilliantly observed and very, very moreish.
