LEGACY follows the fortunes of James, the sort of honest, clean-living young Englishman who any mother would want as a son-in-law. Until a remote uncle dies, his sole claim to fame has been to be the world-wide expert on beer-mats, of which he has a vast collection. His uneventful suburban existence is torn to shreds by his uncle's extraordinary legacy which propels him into a baffling whirlpool far removed from his previous placid life. Follow his plunges into near-disaster, his sudden unexpected successes. Lurching from fabulous wealth to appalling debts he becomes locked into situations beyond his control, pursued across continents by investigators from the Inland Revenue, the American IRS, Interpol, and the FBI. How long can he stay one jump ahead.....
THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE HORSE BICYCLE SOCIETY record the search for the Horse Bicycle, that elusive machine devised by an eccentric Victorian inventor to maximise the speed of a horse in the same way that the pedal car has allowed humans to move faster than on two feet.
Whether Dr. Andrews did invent the Horse Bicycle is open to doubt. Did a horse achieve a stunning velocity on Salisbury Plainin trials for the Cavalry? Is it possible that Stonehenge is actually a six-storey edifice, five stories of which have sunk into Salisbury Plain? Could Silbury Hill be a spoil heap thrown up by prehistoric Druids? Learn the secret of Mistlefinger ointment (which comes from further up the tree). Are present-day Druids agents for foreign powers?
The HORSE BICYCLE SOCIETY achives record all this and more. Revealed for the first time is this fascinating quest for a machine, which if it exists, will revolutionise the equestrian world.
