Extreme Water Polo is the water polo of the 90s. And when Les Norton catches the semi-final on TV he is amazed to see that the man behind Extreme Polo is his old mate, Neville `Nizegy' Nixon. So when Neville calls out of the blue and asks Les to drive the Murrumbidgee Mud Crabs up to Sydney for the final, Les takes him on.

But things are never as simple as they seem and Les finds himself drawn into an hilarious adventure involving the Mud Crabs.

I was introduced to the Les Norton series written by Robert G Barrett during an Australian visit on the recommendation of a Dymocks Bookstore employee. I think I have every book in the series (some of which came from Australia via Dymocks Bookstore - have online site!).
Les is a rolicking fun bloke who generally brawls, eats and sleeps his way through each adventure.
If you want a bit of Aussie lingo and lifestyle and some good yarns in the process then you won't be disappointed in any of the Les Norton books! Good on ya mate!

I had never read or heard of Robert Barrett before hearing Mud Crab Boogie on CD. It kept me smiling for miles. The plot unwinds in such a humerous way and there are so many twists that your attention is held all the way through the book. The narrator is so easy to listen. I thoroughly enjoyed the hours I spent with "Les Norton".
