ALMS FOR OBLIVION is a series of ten novels, all telling separate stories but at the same time linked together by the characters they have in common: soldiers and dons, men of business, politicians and writers. Full of hearty rancour, they form a scathing chronicle of the upper echelons of postwar English society, and this omnibus edition contains the first four volumes of the celebrated series: FIELDING GRAY, FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES, THE SABRE SQUADRON and THE RICH PAY LATE.

"Raven's unique vision of our times - classes battling, corruption raging, ideas flashing - is not only valid but valuable. He spins webs of chance, intrigue and wit to ensnare civilised values and trap the truth. It's high time we gave this very curious genius a loud, warm welcome." (David Hughes Mail on Sunday)
"A ready made cult waiting to be discovered" (Spectator)
"Cracking entertainment... Dangerously, deliciously addictive" (Daily Telegraph)
"Raven's gusto, the robustness of his style and his powerful, if quirky, intelligence all held me rapt" (Sunday Telegraph)
"Sparkling and fizzing... Raven has the mind of a cad and the pen of an angel" (Guardian)
