 Psychological warfare February 12, 2008
In an attempt to undermine relations in the indomitable Gaulish village, Caesar sends out an agent who has an uncanny ability to sow discord wherever he goes. In no time at all he has the combative inhabitants at each other's throats.
Classic Asterix tale, this makes good use of the colourful characters in the village, and even has a landmark battle where all four Roman camps join forces in battle against a village without magic potion, and practice their own form of "psychological warfare". Even the pirates get in on the act. Marvellous.
Not the best, but still very good December 8, 2007
Defintely not as good as the best Asterix books but even a second-tier Asterix book warrants four stars
 Clever, but not one of the better ones August 27, 2007

As you will see here, the imaginitive thinking up of different story lines in this series was very good, and stopped them all from simply being Asterix In ...(a country-which were actually usually the stronger stories), this is one based at home, and sees the fearless duo receive a very unwelcome and disruptive visit from a Roman agente provocateur. Clever plot, but just not as broad or colourful as the best ones.
