About this listen

Les thought that playing minder to Peregrine Normanhurst III sounded like a dead-set snack: Les would keep Peregrine out of trouble. So what if he was on the run from the IRA? They’d never follow him to Australia… But Les quickly finds himself thrust into an adventure that moves at breakneck speed from the corridors of power in Canberra to the grimy tenements of Belfast, to climax in a nerve-shattering, blood-spattered shoot out on a survivalist fortress in the Tweed Valley.

possibly Robert Barrett's best story.

A good yarn from a good story teller. Well read, and a pleasure to listen to.

An Australia that no longer exists

Tells us about an Australia that has changed considerably since it was written. Very interesting. Worth looking up the rest of the series

Ripper yarn!

Probably my favourite of the Les Norton Saga! Ripper read, fast paced and as always irreverent and fun .
Dino delivers all of the diverse characters from English nobility to Aussie battlers and hippies, with his unique style!
