Asterix in Lusitania

The latest Asterix book and our Gaulish heroes finally visit Portugal. This occurs because of a request from a man called Randomaxess from Lusitania (who had a small unnamed appearance in the Mansions of the Gods). His friend Umaminess, who produces garam fish sauce which Julius Caesar likes, has been wrongly thrown in prison after being accused of trying to poison JC.

Asterix and Obelix head to Lusitania, a land of melancholy and (to Obelix's horror) fermented fish. Getting Umaminess out of prison is easy but Asterix also wants to prove his innocence so he will no longer be persecuted. The real poisoner is an ambitious Roman governor. 

This is a fine Asterix romp, the best books are the ones where he and Obelix visit another land, so the piss can be ruthlessly taken. Naturally this book is packed full of regionally appropriate puns and cameos, including Ronaldo of course!
