The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire (58 page)

“
The Old Limey
is John Wayne in
The Searchers
—with a comic twist—and if the Duke were alive today, I'm sure he'd pick up the option.”

“An intoxicatingly funny adventure,
The Old Limey
is
Bulldog Drummond
meets
Baywatch
—an inspired comic creation.”

“. . . H. W. Crocker III provides a witty novel supported by acute censure of the modern world...all wrapped in a hilarious page-turning package.”

“Until I read
The Old Limey
, I had no idea that sex, drugs, booze, and elderly British generals could be such fun.”

 

 

H. W. CROCKER III
's
The Old Limey
is a novel of comic chaos and literary brilliance. Brigadier General Nigel Haversham, a debonair if slightly geriatric James Bond, is on a mission to find his missing goddaughter in a place fraught with danger and peril—Los Angeles.

Along the way, Nigel meets up with two “beach babes” and tangles with a Jamaican drug gang as he mounts a brilliant campaign to restore the English way of life, honour, and Victorian values to the wildest of lands—Southern California. Outrageous and amusing in turn, Nigel's mad and hilarious search and rescue operation keeps the reader both tense with excitement and convulsed with laughter.
