Description

When Dominic Peach is sent to the former Soviet republic of Belugastan to save an endangered wild sheep he is not pleased - his main interest is insinuating himself into elderly people s wills, his job as an environmental campaigner for Save Our Species a mere front. And he d hoped, by rigging their database to make sheep his one responsibility, that he d got SOS sewn up. But it turns out Belugastan is more fun than he d thought, not least due to its colourful head of state, Vinnie Jones lookalike Tim the First who, desperate to obtain foreign currency for his kingdom, has invented the argali as a lure to cash-rich game hunters, props courtesy of his friend Erik s motorbike and his mum s sheepskin coat. But when the hunters include a mad Texan millionairess and her gun-crazy sons Hubba and Bubba, Dominic and Tim discover that chasing wild sheep can be a very hairy business indeed...
