Charley Is My Darling : An evacuee coming of age tale by Joyce Cary (Lume Books) (20 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

A charming, accessible tale of childhood and youth, that offers plentiful insight and raises many questions. Charley is a London lad and an evacuee. Initially an outcast, his wit and humour win him friends, although not always of the best type. Among Charley Brown's first deeds as an evacuee to Longwater in the West Country is to let loose the local bull. Boys who one minute had taunted him with the refrain 'Ballocky baldy' (Charley's lice having been evacuated from London with him), were the next minute acknowledging him as their natural leader. Charley Brown, one of Joyce Cary's most uproarious and memorable creations, is a love and a terror. He is a quivering jelly in the hands of girls and women of any age who show him kindness; through the wild force of his imagination he holds children rapt with tales of desperate gunmen with exquisite manners and a taste for the beautiful. He leads his gang into daring acts both grand and bad. As Charley's sweetheart Lizzy Galor rightly puts ...

The Bahrain Incident: Beautiful Naked Dead by Mobi D'Ark (Martin Andrew Bower) (5 Reviews)    Price verified 10 minutes ago

The Bahrain Incident is an 8,000-word 'whodunit' set in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi in the early 1970's. The tale commences in 2008, with a chance meeting between old colleagues in London, before flashing back to Abu Dhabi in the early 70's - at a time when 'Base Camp', an oilfield caravan site way out in the desert, was the largest centre of habitation in the country. There, the mainly American expatriate oilfield workers enjoyed a 'wild west' type of existence. They worked hard, drank hard, played hard, and fought hard. When they went to nearby Bahrain for R&R, they also 'screwed' hard. The murder of a Seychelles prostitute, who worked in Bahrain, results in the arrest of Steve, a young Vietnam Vet, who had just flown back his job in Abu Dhabi after a few days off. The evidence pointing to him is overwhelming, but the oil company management are determined to get him released from the 'hell-hole' of a stockade, situated out in the blistering, Abu Dhabi desert before he dies of heat ...
