Description

Marty (a.k.a the Baked Bean Bandit) and his farting coach Mr Windybottom are off to China at the invitation of Mr Windybottom's old guru Master Pong, leader of the Order of the Sacred Wind. Master Pong and his warrior monks have dedicated their lives to achieving a perfect balance of mind, body and flatulence, and they take their flatulent power from the sacred Beans of Destiny. When Marty arrives at Pong's monastery, he soon discovers that the monks are being challenged by the evil General Pu, who is determined to take the Beans for himself. Only Marty - now revealed as the Bum Whisperer of ancient prophecy - can defeat the forces of evil and bring eternal peace to the Order of the Sacred Wind. Once again, appalling puns and jokes make this story a brilliantly funny read.
