Narration In Pursuance Of Books Scoundrels
Spanning much of the 20th Century, and revolving around the infamous gentlemen’s club of London, SCOUNDRELS is the jaw-dropping memoirs of the disreputable spies, Major Cornwall and Major Trevelyan.The Majors recount scandalous tales of murder on Everest, panda hunting with the last Chinese Emperor, and the theft of a uniquely sordid item from the Nazi fortress Klunghammer. But why have they been under house arrest for over thirty years?
Historically accurate, morally questionable and absolutely true, SCOUNDRELS is one part Flashman to two parts Mordecai Trilogy stirred vigorously and dashed in the face of Ian Fleming. It will leave you with a nasty taste in your mouth, and horribly hungover.

This book isn't my usual cup of tea but for 99p I couldn't resist. At first it literally made me laugh out loud but then as it got on it was more and more samey. Still quite amusing but like George RR Martin's nipples on a breastplate you can tell what is coming, like a blend of tobacco whipped up by Scoundrels tobacconist. That said even now I smile when I think of parts of the book, I heartily recommend it to anyone who wants a smile and a good belly laugh. I would look forward to a volume 2
Found this book from an advert in a magazine, I felt in the mood for a relaxed read and change.Enjoyed how it is as if your reading letters between two people trying to write a book.Loved the evolution of the two main writers and their amazing, grandiose adventures.I look forward to the continuation of the double secret life.P.S. I am not jealous of the perks their club membership gave them
The Majors have asked me to write a review of the first published volume of their joint memoirs. We met in the city one blisteringly warm summers day. Cornwall I could just about tolerate, but Trevelyan had a face like a slapped arse. I told him as much, to which he seemed to cower slightly, and became aloof for some time, stepping away for a smoke. Did I upset him? I asked Victor, to which he told me, with the solemnity of a doctor revealing the need of full castration, of an incident that took
Scoundrels was so hilariously unique and funny, I looked at the Amazon page to see what the advance reviews were. I dont read the reviews of other readers until I write mine. Sometimes it is interesting to see how other reader reviews refute or support the early or promotional reviews. Because I looked at the Amazon page after reading 50% of the novel, I had a good idea of what I would agree with. There were some descriptions so accurate I wanted to note them in my post. Not a fan of posts that
ReprobatesMajor Victor Cornwall and Major Arthur St John Trevelyan are two stereotypical English aristocrats, from an era when they had servants dealing with all the details that every activity required. They exhibit that air of confident superiority yet often lack common sense. They hold an undiminished belief that anything is possible and giving it a jolly good show, they succeed. Scoundrels is a superbly entertaining, mischievous and humorous account of their lives from school in 1931,
This book is a little crazy, a little awful and a lot of fun - but what else to expect from Farrago book.. One just can't put it down, whilst shaking ones head. Probably not a book for the PC crowd, very "tongue in cheek" Written in a series of letters as published memoires between two friends? enemies or are they just jealous of each other? The adventures are tantalising, funny and very crazy, for some reason it brings to my mind the steam punk era.I really enjoyed it and look forward to the
