Major Jeremy Billycock-Smythe ("Oh, do call me Major B S, old boy") is a former British soldier, failed mercenary and bumbling adventure tour operator who puts his business interests on hold

Along the way, he is recruited to carry out a top-secret government mission. It doesn't end nicely.

Adventure travel operator Major Jeremy Billycock-Smythe bumbles his way though this collection of short funny fiction and skewed factual stories.
He is joined by convicted arsonist Jerome O'Fury and Australian author John Martin and his family, friends and foes.
