OK you expect a degree of absurdity in this type of fantasy spy fiction , but this was awesomely bad! Amazing collection of cliches, cringey attempts to latch on to news stories, and some of the dumbest characters ever seen -- they need to keep doing ...more |

“There is a story about a traveller chased by a tiger to the edge of an abyss. The man took hold of a vine and started to climb down when he saw an angry dragon at the bottom of the abyss, and when he looked up, the tiger was lashing its tail above. As he hung on, a mouse started to gnaw away at the vine he was clinging to. The man was ready for death when he noticed a wild strawberry growing next to him, so he plucked it. It was the sweetest he had ever tasted.”
