Bobo's Raid 1928 England Count Reginald Bobrowski, dazed and
bloody, sits down heavily. The speed record beast he was driving
steams and groans, broken on the beach after the drive chain
snapped nearly decapitating him. Bobrowski, son of a wealthy Polish
Count and an American heiress, lives in England with his wife
Alexandra. Her pet name for the Count is Bobo, much to his dismay.
Bobo dabbles in racing cars and managing his mother's business
interests. On a lark he and his friend Clive Parry-Jones take their
wives on a journey to the sands of the Sahara. After returning from
the nearly disastrous trip Reggie meets a sinister Mr. S, head of a
secret government department in London. S orders Reggie to go back
to the Sahara to spy on a German expedition London thinks is
seeking oil for their future war effort. Reggie and Clive modify a
Citroen Kegresse half-track ambulance into a lightly armored desert
traveler to cross the treacherous Sahara sands. They load the
Citroen aboard a cargo ship and endure a harrowing sea voyage to
Algeria. At their base in Ouargla, they find more intrigue. S has
sent a cunning, brutally deceptive female agent to control Reggie's
every move. Reggie and Clive try to puzzle who is after what. The
Germans roam the desert leaving death and angry Berbers in their
wake. S's agent has an agenda of her own, and Bobrowski is caught
in the crosshairs of both factions. Is Reggie just a rich
lay-a-about fop or can he and his friend Clive get the job done?
Join them on a gritty tale of murder and deceit across the desert
as the Count dodges death to seek the truth.
