I was a little dubious about this one before I started and occasionally the Ossie Ossie Ossie Oy Oy Oy grated a bit; the hero's ability to continuously drink beer and subject himself to extreme exertion was also testing, but this was a great holiday read and I am keen to read Mr Abernathy's first book.
Excellent to read something written in a SE Asian context, the settings were great, enjoyed the tradecraft and the scenario for our region, basically once I got into the book I couldn't put it down.
