“Once again John Martin creates an improbable world filled with improbable, but memorable, characters. Some you love and love loving; some you hate and love hating. The protagonist you love hating so much you can't wait to see what he does next so you can hate him even more.”

"Even the spooks are taking an
interest in [Major Billycock-Smythe's] often bizarre
activities, which include
illegal immigrants and
clandestine military operations ... this is a story that is sure
to amuse readers as it
draws on Martin’s
observations of reporters,
politicians, businessmen
and the military."
