Product Description

Product Description
David Bird, creator of the famous Abbot series, is acknowledged as the world's best when it comes to humorous bridge fiction. Here he strikes out in an intriguing new direction, with humorous tales of a mixed group of players on a world bridge cruise. Nor is the action confined to the ship's card-room. The players disembark at various ports of call, encountering bridge adventures in Morocco, Italy, Israel, the Yemen and India. Will the less-than-expert bridge host, Rupert Knight, get his hands on the lovely Debbie or Sandra? Read on to find out!

About the Author
David Bird is the author of many excellent bridge books, instructive titles and funny ones. Bridge critic for the Mail on Sunday, Evening Standard and Glasgow Evening Times

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthy successor to the Abbot books, 22 Jul 2001
By John Peter O'connor - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Master Bridge humourist David Bird tackles an almost new scenario with this book. Almost new in that his earlier book "The Abbot and The Sensational Squeeze" included a short section in which the famous Bridge playing Abbot spent some time as the host on a bridge cruise.

In this book, we are introduced to a completely fresh cast of characters lead by the cruise host Mr Knight. He is usually known as Rupert Knight though the poor standard of proof reading common to Bird's recent works causes him to become Ralph on occasion. As with Bird's rather weak Robin Hood books, many of the hands are the work of Tim Bourke but happily in the case of this book, the bridge content is rather more interesting.

The bridge described alternates between ship board duplicate sessions and on shore rubber bridge with an unlikely cast of characters enountered by the cruise passengers. This allows reasonable variety and provides scope for the wit for which David Bird is highly regarded.

The real test has to be: how does this book compare to the "Abbot" books? Certainly this book is closer to the mark than the "Robin Hood" books and it will not disappoint his fans.

If you have not read any of Daid Bird's books before, I suggest that you try to get hold of some of the earlier books in the "Abbot" series. You really cannot go wrong with the ones that were co-authored with Terence Reese.
