Walter Minion's Secret Life
Unbelievably believable!Patrick O’Connor’s second novel is the prequel to his first.
Walter’s life is a continuous flow of fantasies as he makes his accidental mark on world affairs and gets himself involved in shaping modern history. Fantastic though the story of Walter’s life is, it is only a step or two removed from what would be a very ordinary life, and so it seems totally plausible.
From his boring life as a civil servant, Walter finds himself catapulted into the world of high espionage, being flown around the world and advising world leaders. This is an extremely entertaining read. The action never stops. The conclusion of each chapter leaves the reader anticipating the next.
