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.
