This is the first of a number of sequels to The Mouse that Roared, forming a series of humorous novels about the tiny, fictional Alpine duchy of Grand Fenwick, and the ways in which it manages to outwit the rest of the world. In this novel, it manages through a series of chances discoveries, mishaps and misunderstandings to invent a new source of rocket fuel to enable it to get to the Moon before the USA and Soviet Union. The novel satirises the space race as effectively as its predecessor did the arms race, but the humour didn't quite work for me as well in this one; perhaps it was a little too similar and it's only been three months between my reading the two books. Still a good lighter read though on the eve of going on holiday. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

While the Americans and the Soviets are racing to claim the moon, Grand Fenwick's famous physicist makes the perfect rocket fuel from the zingiest wine in the world and the space race is on!"--Page [4] of cover.
