1971’s Cold War in a Country Garden is the first novel in Lindsay Gutteridge’s Dilke series.
Mathew Dilke, code name 00.25÷1! Not only does that provide him a unique monicker, it is also his height in inches.
Britain has won the shrinking people race! Now her Majesty’s government plans a little field-testing before deploying the results of the research.
The field in which Dilke is to be field-tested is his own garden.
