This is a well-paced thriller that is quite a distance from the beaten track in several respects. With good character development and sub-plots the reader is taken into the exotic world of Thailand's seedist side, a side that sadly is still going strong. Mr. Fook's understanding of Thailand, high tech, and martial arts makes this an excellent and highly recommended read. Not everything goes right for the protagonist  which makes the story more realistic than those books where he or she is invincible. I've just started reading the sequel and have high hopes that it will be as entertaining as "Thailand's Sickest".
