Owen Strain - The Last Throaty Cough Of The T'svarango

    Ox Publishing  

    872pp.                              £26.99

      The seemingly endless T'svarango series nears a roaring crescendo with this, the latest volume from Strathcarnage legends Ox Publishing and Owen Strain, the 238th book in the ongoing saga. 

    Fans of Strain's daring avant garde sci-fi and gastronomic odyssey left the remaining T'svarango tribe, and their leader Xepyll 36, facing almost certain death at the thrilling climax of the last novel in the series "The Asthmatic Wheezing Of Dr Grupper".

   As this latest backbreaking volume opens, we quickly realise that that the past 23 volumes of the series were all part of a daydream of Xepyll's pet wolf 'Muntari', and within pages we're back on the Plains of Y'psilly facing the might of the collected forces of the Gnoster Army.

   In this stunning new volume, Chief Yantok and the G'noster army find themselves low on supplies and are forced to consult the ancient recipe scrolls of Tarnock to rustle up a quick but nutritionally balanced dish using lentils and yak offal.

    But do the men know of Piron The Unstoppable's previously undisclosed pulse allergy...

    The thrills continue as Chief Yantok stumbles over a herd of Tarumby and has to use his ancient knowledge of root vegetables to concoct a basic nourishing stew to keep his forces alive.

    Only a spy within the camp has made off with the last meagre suppiles of oregano, leaving the G'noster forces hungry and herbally unsatisfied. Yantok has a nervous breakdown over the culinary failure and events take a sinister turn...

    Strain's mastery of the ongoing adventures of the T'svarango are to be admired, especially in the face of such poor sales. However what few fans of the series remain can rest assured this is vintage Strain writing, with the 265 page section on pastry baking under horse attack definately some of his best work to date.

    For fans then, another solid addition to the T'svarango series. Well written, packed with nauseating recipies and with a few of Strain's trademark completely unneccesary illustrations of naked well endowed women.
