 Back to form with a good Arabian adventure August 28, 2007

Uderzo quickly redeemed himself after the awful previous book, which was the first created on his own. This is much more like the old stuff, a sure footed adventure on a mission overseas. There's lots of humour in this one without watering down the action, and some of the little plot devices are excellent. Features a spitting image of a certain famous espionage agent. Near to getting 5 stars, but the weak ending let it down.

Asterix and Obelix are off on yet another adventure, #27. This time it's to the Middle East to find rock oil for Getafix's magic potion, they are accompanied by a roman secret agent Dubbelosix who is determined to sabotage the adventure anyway he can. Asterix mets may strange people in the desert, which wears his patience down very thin, finally Dogmatix finds what they are searching for, so they set off for home with their precious cargo only to lose it all, or have they?
Asterix explores more of the world, on top form as always. June 18, 2001

Fans of Asterix will love this book. As usual there is the blatant humour with all the little subtilties that even the oldest adult finds amusing. Yet another educational twist as things we take for granted are subjected to a makeover by Uderzo and Goscinny. Geniuses at work!!!

When Asterix and Obelix go to the Land of Black Gold they come across the most breath taking adventures. The illustrations are fabulous! They show the all the details of The Promised Land, the way it looked in 50BC, at the time of the Roman occupation! Asterix and Obelix have the funniest way of doing things, when they go on the first quest ever for black gold!Just Brill!
