This collection of episodes in the Commissioner Sanders series continues Wallaces subtly humorous look at colonial Africa. In Bones, Wallace spins an engaging yarn about the adventures of an intrepid lieutenant as he travels through Africa on a series of life-or-death missions. When Commissioner Sanders goes on leave, the trusty Lieutenant Hamilton takes over administration of the African territories. However, yet again, the trouble-prone Francis Augustus Tibbetts, known as Bones, while meaning to assist, only manages to spread his own unique style of innocent and endearing mischief. A richly detailed document of the colonial period, Bones is sure to spark the imagination of action-adventure fans.
