Proof that age is just a number and getting old doesn't mean you can't have fun. It just means you know how to get away with it Fossdyke Retirement Home has seen its fair share of quirky characters, but it’s never seen the likes of these four geriatric musicians who form a band called Fossils.

Fearing the English press persecuting them and their families when they find out the truth, the four flee England until they can resolve their situation. Follow the madcap adventures of Britain’s most irreverently lovable elderly rockers as they trip, stumble, and fall into one situation after another while travelling around Southeast Asia evading adoring fans, journalists, and a ruthless record producer. Reviewed By Stephen Fisher - Readers' FavoriteFossils: Viagra, Snuff, and Rock and Roll by Robert A. Webster is a brilliantly written rockumentary story about four senior citizens that meet in a retirement home. When Charles loses his wife, he and his grand piano are placed in a retirement home. On his first day, Charles meets three new friends that talk him into joining their rock and roll band. With their stage names, Steve is "Strat" on guitar; Wayne is "Chippers," and with his false fingers he is on Bass; Elvin is "Sticks" on the drums, and then they choose the name "Knobby" for Charles to which he agrees. Then they choose the perfect name for their band of old-timers, "Fossils." The band had met with much disapproval until Charles, "Knobby," joins and they begin writing their own songs. When they decide to take a chance and play in a local pub, what started out as jokes and jeers quickly changed to applause and cheers from the crowd. Their popularity grows when DJ "Kipper" records them and submits the recording to a contest to find the next great band in the UK since the Beatles.Mr. Webster does an amazing job of breathing life into this comedic masterpiece. Once the band gets to southeast Asia, their popularity grows as much as their lust for life. Their life of sex, drugs, rock and roll, and alcohol could easily rival that of the most iconic bands during the British invasion. The author describes in detail the lifestyle, atmosphere, and culture of Southeast Asia. The author is able to move the story back and forth from Southeast Asia to the United Kingdom where the band's popularity is growing as fast as their sales. The legend of this mysterious band grows as the band evades the freelance photographers and journalists looking to make a name for themselves. Robert A. Webster's knowledge of music and instruments is right on point, as well as the prostitutes that take advantage of our lonely senior citizens. As the book neared its end, Fossils had me hollering "Encore!" The surprise that caught me off guard had me laughing out loud at the author's genius. Encore! Robert A. Webster is a multi-genre author based in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Originally from Cleethorpes, UK, he embodies both hearty wit and adventurous vigor, making his prose insanely memorable and incessantly enjoyable. His unique brand of snarky humour and imaginative storytelling breathe vivid life into his work, which combines comical British characters with exotic Southeast Asian settings. The result is "brilliant" and "unpredictable," as Dinorah Blackman of Readers' Favorite says. His first novel Siam Storm received rave reviews in the expat community in southeast Asia. Its sequels, Chalice and Bimat, were similarly acclaimed. Protector, the fourth book of the Siam Storm series, continues the journey of the lovable scallywags who have a penchant for mischief. The books document high-octane escapades and colourful, fantastical narratives that don't stop. His other hilarious books include Fossils and Spice, and his journey into the Paranormal genre with PATH and Next makes him an adaptable imaginative writer. When he's not crafting unforgettable stories, he enjoys snorkelling, self-deprecating humour, and the warm climate of Cambodia.
