No Exit Press The Last Manly Man (A Robin Hudson Mystery)
This is the first Robin Hudson novel not to feature girl in the title. Instead it has man, and Manly Man at that. A radical new direction? As if. Sparkle Hayter knows her forte and sticks to it bullishly. The battle of the sexes is her thing, upon which she hoists cartoon escapades thinly disguised as plot. Vive la difference. Robin Hudson is a television news reporter (as Hayter was), who thinks like a stand-up comedian (which Hayter is). She has two handsome boyfriends (Hayter ...?), a programme to produce on the Man of the Future, and suddenly, a hat, which may belong to a John Doe. Within pages she is ensconced in a world of missing monkeys, powerful businessmen, animal liberationists and feminists, all of whom appear connected to a mysterious chemical known only as Adam 1, which could have the potential to bring the gender war to a swift halt. Who can resolve the conundrum? And who will film it? Hayter does not write badly. She just does not write very well. Her prose has the balls of a Rottweiler, but the subtlety of one too, being infested with one-liners, some of which are funny, some of which are repetitious or strained. Occasionally she hints at darker points, such as Robin's infertility, but they are usually sacrificed to the gag quota. As it is, Sparkle Hayter has written a sassy thriller that will probably be read and forgotten by millions. --David Vincent

Bloomsbury Manly Pursuits
Alternating between Oxford and Cape Town in the latter half of the 19th century, this is an extraordinary tale of the late-in-life adventures of a frail ornithologist. Professor Wills is cajoled from his sequestered life as a reclusive don in a quest to bring British birdsong to the slopes of Table Mountain and finds himself drawn into the eccentric antics and significant histories that surround a weakening colossus--Cecil Rhodes. Among the coteries of Rhodes' sharp blue-eyed young men, the author effortlessly slides better known fin-de-siècle figures such as Wilde, Kipling, Ruskin, Carrol, Jameson, Milner and Selous. With erotic undertones which remain teasingly suggestive, this delightful weaving of ornithology, history, biography and intrigue symbolically reveals Olive Schreiner among the undergrowth on Rhodes' mountain as the whisperer of the war and politics to come. The urgency of her pleas, so significant to us now, are viewed as shrill and hysterical in the discreet libraries of men more or less devoted to the imperialist mission. Ann Harries wittily develops the character of Wills from fearfully pedantic to naively (or omnisciently?) enchanted as his anti-heroic hero is pleasurably conjured in his conflicts of conscience, loyalties, desire and power. --<I>Oliver Phillips</I>
