Story
We find ourselves in the austerity of the 1950s, when England's aristocracy was feeling the pinch. Bertie Wooster has gone to a residential self-help school to learn how to darn his socks. Until he re-emerges, Jeeves has signed up with Bill Rowcester (pronounced Roaster), an earl who is failing to make ends meet in trade, and yearning to sell his stately home, which has charm and damp in equal measure. In his new environment Jeeves is required to exert his mammoth brain to what would be breaking point for any normal intellect.

Refreshing tale of Jeeves without Bertie

I had missed reading this when I avidly read almost all of Wodehouse’s books. A very nice “Jees Only” Story with the same degree of hilarious complications.
Not as funny as some of his other works though.
Martin Jarvis’s variation of of voices wa very good

Story
Bruno Wildermann of the Wrinfield Circus is the world’s greatest trapeze artist, a clairvoyant with near-supernatural powers and an implacable enemy of the East European regime that arrested his family and murdered his wife. The CIA needs such a man and recruits Bruno for an impossible raid—on the impregnable Lubylan fortress, where his family his held. Under cover of a circus tour, Bruno prepares to return to his homeland. But before the journey even begins a murderer strikes twice. Somewhere in the circus there is a communist agent with orders to stop Bruno at any cost.

Good narration. But as far as the book goes, Ok, but not the greatest Maclean book
Reviewed: 12-11-22
I had read this a long time ago. It was a different experience to listen to it.
The narration was very good.
As compared to other Maclean books, this one has too fantastical a story and too much of a superhuman as the protagonist. Atypical of Maclean’s heroes, Bruno does not get beaten up, doesn’t go through any tragedy, does not fail. Even his tragedy in the past is underplayed.
The story could have been tighter,
Like Breakhart Pass or Night Without End. There wasn’t enough drama, emotion, or heartbreak as compared to other books.
