Lieutenant Bones Books in Order

When Commissioner Sanders takes leave, Lieutenant Hamilton assumes control of the African territories with the well-meaning Augustus Tibbetts, known as Bones, beside him. Bones's attempts to help repeatedly create complications amid local politics and the demands of colonial administration.

Wealthy Augustus Tibbetts, known as Bones, enters London's business world with confidence and limited experience. Shipping deals, ambitious acquaintances, and his new secretary draw him into comic commercial adventures where good intentions and financial judgment do not always coincide.

Lieutenant Bones continues his misadventures in the African territory administered by Commissioner Sanders. These stories bring him into encounters involving local chiefs, medical matters, animals, and apparent mysteries, as his enthusiastic efforts repeatedly complicate the work of his colleagues.
