Review:
"When you tire of stories about the places and people you know, try the witty word play and over-the-top adventure of Cairo Jim for an outrageous tonic." (The Age)
"Grab your pith helmet and join Cairo Jim on a pair of rollicking adventures sure to tickle the funny bone of young and old alike. From Australia come two audio offerings featuring a wacky cast of characters headed by the famed archaeologist poet. In Cairo Jim on the Trail to Chacha Muchos, Jim travels to the jungles of South America, where he meets Doris, the talking macaw, who becomes his partner and often the real brains behind these crazy expeditions. Read by the author, the stories pit Jim against his nemesis, the evil Neptune Bone, who also has a feathered sidekick, a nasty raven out to pluck the plumage from the colourful Doris. Jim's spunky bird gets even more recognition in Cairo Jim and Doris in Search of Martenarten, in which the bitter rivals each try to be first to find the most tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh." (AudioFile Magazine)
"This is not just an adventure story, its funny suspenseful and hilarious! Cairo Jim is an archaeologist who goes to the Peru jungles to try and find the ruins of an abandoned city where something mysterious happened hundreds of years ago. On the way he meets a brilliant macaw who guides him along and he has to try and get to the city of Chacha Muchos before his enemy Neptune F. Bone gets there." (Amazon)
