An adventure on a yacht sailing from Portugal to Ibiza in the Falklands War when Spain was siding with the Malvinas. A yacht that had already sunk; the Atlantic Ocean and two sailors; one aged eighteen, the other twenty years old. Forty-two foot of boat; weighing 2.75 tonnes and some of the busiest shipping lanes in Europe; surely this was a recipe for disaster? Argentina is at war with Britain, any British yacht is considered the enemy.

Preparations for a coronation lead to a family visiting Uganda. The family, travelling to Africa as a group for the first time, know that adventures and disasters await. It is not what life throws at you but how you deal with it that counts. This is a humorous and warm account of a family's frustration and bewilderment. From being stranded in Lake Victoria with no fuel to being buffeted in a tropical storm near Murchinson Falls, the Bruton family embraced adversity with humour and tenacity. This book is probably the funniest account of travels abroad that you will ever read. With laughter comes drama and adversity, perhaps too, the key to a mystery that has kept Scotland Yard baffled for over forty years...

A reader's review: couldn't resist purchasing this as I read the Snippet on Amazon and felt I just had to read on , I've finished ADBEC and I have to say I am absolutely stunned by your recollection of how it all was, and all of the characters, some of your recollections were identical to mine. It is very rare for me to gasp or laugh aloud when reading, a reaction usually reserved exclusively for the late Tom Sharpe; but I did reading ADBEC! Recognised a few people - Ursula Watts - our memories concur!

Cecil was a consummate plotter who undermined enemies and helped his supporters, he himself wrote: "I spend my time in sowing so much seed as my poor wretched fingers can scatter, in such a season as may bring forth a plentiful harvest. This was written just a fortnight before the discovery of poor Guy Fawkes. What does it mean? It is ambiguous, which is probably what Cecil wanted.I think it is a coded message proclaiming that nothing could stop his plot from succeeding except if those in his service, in the Midlands bungled their part; that is failed to kill all the Catholics hiding in the house. This must surely be the assassination of all those Catholic nobles who fled London. If they were dead, they could not protest their innocence. The sheriff's men from the 'middle region' did not 'mar' his plan, they ambushed and destroyed anyone who might have told the truth. Might those 'plotters' have set the record straight?

We all know the story of Guy Fawkes who wanted to blow up parliament. What did he wish to gain; the very people who were going to replace James were present? How did he think he would get away with it? It does not make sense unless it was a story. Now, finally, you can read about the real plot, the plot to destroy the Catholic nobility hatched by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury. Behind the scenes, he manipulated the cast in his play. Catesby, the supposed ringleader, had embraced Anglicanism, bringing his children up in the Anglican faith, yet he is portrayed as the zealous leader of the plot. Guy Fawkes was simply a night-watchman guarding barrels. James I feared being stabbed or blown up; Cecil ran an efficient spy network; and he was able to play on James's fears. Read the true story that relies on facts. For far too long we have meekly accepted the propaganda of the age and ignored the flimsiness of those contrived coincidences that gave Cecil's outrageous plot credence.
