Looking for something that is something between Young Winston, Indiana Jones with a splash of Monty Python?

Look no further!

Cairo to Khartoum is the first in the Bernard Baker series. Here we meet our heroes, Bernard and his batman Sam on their first foray with the British army in 1898. They are bound for Khartoum to do battle with the Dervish horde but, even before they have left England, Bernard stumbles across a plan being hatched by the evil Jeremy Blasford-Smythe apparantly to kidnap the American jounalist Maximillian Perchinsky.

Can Bernard and Sam thwart the plan?

Join Bernard and Sam as they battle against the desert heat, smugglers and army regulations in this captivating story. Reading the book is David Baldwin. David has had a long career on stage, radio and television; probably longer than he would care to remember! David takes the listener to a different time and place. With David you really to feel as though Bernard and Sam are there, with sand in your underpants and flies in your teeth.

A great place to go!

What a great way to spend a long journey. David Baldwin has the perfect voice for this great story that takes you back to the days of the British Empire. Even if you don't normally go for historical titles you' love this. I had to keep listening, in fact I took a long detour just to get to the end of the chapter. This book's got great heroes, nasty villains, action, adventure padded out with plenty of laughs. Funny, captivating, brilliant. Buy a copy!
