Product Description
A brilliantly hilarious novel in which Soames Noyes - an affable young Englishman in charge of PR for a huge computer firm - says goodbye to inhibition and hello to Africa when he is sent to pave the way for the installation of an impressive computer. Palace plots, witch doctors and the disconcerting favours of some sensual women make Soames' African expedition rather more demanding than he reckoned.
