What a gift for storytelling he has! With the catchy turn of phrase and wonderfully interesting tales, I felt like I was there peeping in on the goings-on. Lovely.

I almost fell of my chair! Maverick,Morris, Barcley... just to name a few. The writer draws you in like popcorn, cola and a soft chair. One adventure after another keeps the pages turning. You begin to feel that you are living in a series and the next episode is right around the corner. Loved it and tapping my foot till the next volume comes out. Hurry up!

This book is a great ride with excellent story telling. The author makes you appreciate the importance of your family, friends, and a good Pub where you can always go back. Fleming-Wade has done an outstanding job of developing his characters. As this book progresses, you actually feel like you are a member of the Tollin Family. I look forward to the next chapter.

As good as reading Harry Potter. Even though this novel is more for adults than children, the story forces you into reading on and on. I was sent this as a birthday gift from a friend in Washington D.C. (who purchased it here on Amazon). I am a avid reader and read for nearly half a century. Very few books have interested me as much as this 'out of the blue' gift. I look forward to the next two volumes and hope I can order them through Amazon UK!

Wow! A Great Read. It kept me glued to each and every page for two days. I can't wait for Vol.2 and I hope to see its debut on the Big Screen sometime very soon! hint!

Volume I of the Tollan Trilogy, Banking, Beer & Robert the Bruce is the debut novel of globe-trotting ski instructor, insurance company worker, windsurfer, and restauranteur T. Ian Fleming-Wade. An action adventure which is laced through out with sharp-tongued wit and side-splitting humor, chronicles the (mis)adventures of the fictional Tollan family, who goes out and makes things happen worldwide. Stories span from 1779 to the present day, all rollicking with can-do determination and world-shaking happenings. A treat to read cover to cover.

This novel is knock-your-socks-off fun. For those who like the writings of such authors as Robert Heinlein - you will get an especially incredible kick out of this book. I have not been able to put the book down - I find that I want to see (so to speak) what the characters are up to. I am excited to get the next volume and get more of the continuing saga.

Rather steamy, but at 71, I like rather steamy books.

Funny, whitty and a darn good read. I couldn't put it down. It needs to be read with an open mind though!
