Norman ConquestBartle Bull Trilogy
Just for grins + to introduce others to Bartle Bulls works. The Trilogy discussed as per heading reads as follows;#1-The White Rhino Hotel, #2- Cafe on the Nile'#3- The Devil's Oasis.]In my own opinion 'Cafe On The Nile' was the best;but that's just me.Welcoming feedback fellow bibliophiles.

Norman ConquestAddendum= I do have a 1st. edition H.B (duh) of his "Safari" but these books are PURE pleasure in the genre of historical fiction.

JBrownI enjoyed The White Rhino Hotel. Cafe on the Nile was different, but also a good read.
I have The Devil's Oasis but have not read it yet. I think I opened it and read the first few pages, but it did not draw me in as the others had.
There was some shocking stuff in WRH and I think that was what made it so interesting.
All are good. I have given several used copies of "Safari" as gifts, it's a great overview.
"In the Blood" is now available on DVD, give it a look, too.

BaxterBI have Safari by Bartle Bull and like it, but I am mystified as to why Harry Selby isn't really mentioned?
I'l have to check the other titles out, I thought Safari was well done.

BaxterBI know Harry could probably care less, just a curiosity as he provides such a tangible link to a lot of history.
