Patrick Robertson: A Tale Of Adventure

By Brian Hennigan

British novelist Brian Hennigan's drily hilarious antihero Patrick Robertson is a cynical, perpetually sauced master salesman, devoted drinker, and connoisseur of Asia's finest hotels. In Patrick's world, meeting a beautiful stranger for drinks in Bangkok is par for the course. Being kidnapped afterwards by the People's Earth Friendly Liberation Group, mistaken for the Patrick Robertson from the International Monetary Fund, and transported to the jungle (along with several other erroneously-abducted Patrick Robertsons) to meet certain death is decidedly gauche. Patrick must escape his captors, brave the perils of the deadly, Chardonnay-less rainforest and find his way back to civilization. To survive, he must use all his sales training and lust for the good life -- plus a hefty dose of betrayal, murder, theft and identity theft.

Very Funny

Not the book I first thought it was going to be (I knew nothing of the book beforehand), so I personally had to struggle for the first few pages -- I had expected something with a little more depth to the characters (akin to "Lightning on the Sun" by Robert Bingham - (also about a Westerner trapped in the Far East) which I recommend as well), but after settling on the fact that this is a fairly glib satire with a super-shallow arse of a main character I really started to enjoy the book. I found myself laughing days later when recalling scenes from the book.
