This colourful cast of characters really picks up the book, particularly when they decide to form a secret agent subsection to help with the case. The story picks up once Jackie gets to his Aunt's house and sees his whole wacky mischievous family. I really am not reading these books to see homophobia, but considering it was written in 1967, four years after a US based publisher got 25 years in jail for publishing similar material, I suppose I have to let it pass. This book starts off slow, with Jackie once again teaming with a hot homophobic cop. I don't know if I'll be able to say that by the time Jackie is heading to the lost city of Atlantis, but it is definitely true in the first three in the series. The Man from CAMP books keep getting better and better.
