Horatio Stubbs #2
A Soldier Erect
Aldiss, Brian W.
The lewd, crude hero of The Hand-Reared Boy, Horatio Stubbs, is on excellent form when his regiment is dispatched overseas to India to become part of the unforgettable Forgotten Army, where the main battle is with their irrepressible randiness. Eventually, the regiment is posted to the Burmese Front and plunged into the Battle of Kohima in the mountains of Assam. The campaigns against the Japanese are punctuated with riotous sexual jaunts, while the barrack-room life is side-splittingly coarse.

Horatio Stubbs #3
A Rude Awakening
Aldiss, Brian W.
In this powerful addition to the legend of a sex-prone sergeant, Horatio Stubbs finds himself in trouble with women - and not for the first time. However, quite uncommonly, Stubbs seems to be enjoying a period of success, with a bevy of eager women who all want a piece of him. The whoring, boozing and army horseplay of this novel take place in serious surroundings. The year is 1946, and British, Dutch, Indian, Japanese, Chinese and Indonesian forces confront each other for possession of the island of Sumatra.
