The Raid on Old Amersham continues the wonderful New Bears for the 21st Century series. Set in a future Planet Earth run by bears, The Raid on Old Amersham captures daring and intrigue in a high-stakes plot that would more than rival humanity for subterfuge and the reckless follies of ambition. The sinister Polar Power movement is intent on invading Britannia, and the quaint English market town of Old Amersham is firmly in the sights of their power-crazed polar bear leader, Odin Norsefang. Meanwhile, the intrepid trio of Snowball, Brosnan and Chiwi stand in their way. Using bear characters, The Raid on Old Amersham serves as an allegorical mirror on humanity - capturing the banality of evil and the allure of the demagogue, but all achieved with an impish eye on humour. This is a sharp, sophisticated political allegory in the tradition of Animal Farm, exploring propaganda and principle through the rise of a charismatic, supremacist movement within an anthropomorphic bear society. The New Bears for the 21st Century is a clever and compelling book series in the Cross-Genre Fiction. It captures thought-provoking escapism for intelligent teenage youth and New Adult readers. This is the sixth instalment in the enthralling series of these much-loved characters.
