PACIFIC DASH - Exotic/colorful new novel (Macau etc.)

Unread post

"Pacific Dash" by Chet Nairene, is a colorful new novel that just came out last year from publisher Banana Leaf Books.

Kind of a mashup between Alex Garland's 'The Beach', Pileggi's 'Casino' and James Clavell's 'Taipan'. Lots of action, international flavor.

This breezy read follows a young American's decades roaming Asia as a backpacker, but starts during his high school days in 1968 when his family is transplanted to Hong Kong due to his father's work. Straight from the cornfields of Illinois, young Dashiell Bonaventure finds himself attending Hong Kong International School amongst the offspring of Asia's powerful, where he becomes involved in a scandal.

Later, during his college years, his life merges with that of a globally famous author but then all of it blows up, leading him into a vagabond existence across SE Asia.

Dash travels, looking for truth and himself, through Indonesia, South Malaysia, lives on an illegal floating casino boat and eventually goes on to become titan of the Macau casinos.

Written purely for reader pleasure and feedback is that has been successul, a very fun read.
