Robin Anderson Author Reviews

Triple Oh Heaven

★ ★ ★ ★

"Trannies of taste and never tackiness"
Grady Harp - Amazon - December 2014

Robin Anderson takes a million and one chances in this stingingly funny novel and his writing style is so
adept that he knows exactly how to balance camp with storyline. A little background: Anderson was born
in Scotland and educated in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, and South Africa and while his novels have a
decidedly bent twist, is day job is that of an internationally respected interior designer. And in that field
he likely has encountered much of the classy fodder he molds into this book.

The story peels the exterior off two wildly entertaining transvestites - Miz Miranda Maracona (the mouthy
and grossly endowed white one) and Miz Kookie Kombuis (the outrageous black one) - who own an agency
for `men with special needs' in London at Soho's Old Crompton Street, the MK agency. In this Book 6 the madcap and unique Miz M and Miz K manage to find themselves in the center of a web of political chaos and intrigue when they set out to the hitherto unknown country of Vulgaria to judge a pageant that has the most unusual qualifications they have ever encountered. Meeting some old foes, like Slit-Eye Sly and Svetlana Orlov, and making some new allies, like Triple Oh Heaven and Count Rudi Vernacular--to name a few--brings them face to face with an unusual challenge. Taking on Kaiser 'The Crippler' Kalishnakov and his plot to take over the world, means stopping germ warfare and the blockage of the world's oil supply. All it will take is a steady aim, a cattle prod, two elephants, a running supply of champagne and crème de menthe, and the Three Muff-keteers!

You have to read it to enjoy the wild kookie madness of this adventure. For a side spitting time out, sit back with a spot of tea and join the inimitable Robin Anderson on another off the beaten track story.

I was entirely remiss in singing my praises for TRIPLE OH HEAVEN! At first the 300 plus pages were daunting; until I started to read it and then I was completely entranced and consumed. By the end it was a surprise to realise that it was, indeed, a long book. But once again ROBIN ANDERSON snared my imagination from the get-go. Miz M and Miz K are completely and utterly charming and I so love
their adventures. I also love the romances! But what kept me glued to the pages are the circumstances in which ROBIN'S dauntless heroines find themselves embroiled and how I know they are going to triumph, and spectacularly at that.

Robin Anderson Is Back (With the Girls)"
Amos Lassen

It has been quite a while since Robin Anderson has sent me a new book. For someone who is so prolific, even a week seems like a long time. In his “La Di Da Di Bloody Da!” series, of which is a part, we re-meet ) or meet if this is your first read by Anderson the lovely drag queens Miz M and Miz K who once again are in the midst of a web of “political chaos and intrigue”. The two lovelies were hired by the Cyclopes Agency and the British government and headed to Vulgaria, an unknown country to be judges for a very strange beauty pageant.

This turns out to be something less than a pleasure trip when they meet up with some old enemies like Slit-Eye Sly and Svetlana Orlov but they also had a chance to find some new allies such as Count Rudi and Count Rudi Vernacular. Before anyone knew it they were faced with an unusual challenge. Kaiser, “the Crippler”, Kalisnakov has a plan to rule the world after he takes it over though germ warfare and stopping the oil supply. Their mission was to reinstate the ex-President of Vulgaria, “Butch” Boyko Borscht, to the position that was his. Our two “transvestites of taste, never tackiness” have to deal with some really undesirable types that include the aforementioned Kaiser and his glib accomplice Zorodic Zool. This is a rollicking adventure with an ending that I doubt anyone could ever predict.

In the words the author, “All it will take is a steady aim, a cattle prod, two elephants, a running supply of champagne and crème de menthe, and the Three Muff-keteers”!
