Summary: Spielberg and Lucas should have read this book
Comment: Macau's major protagonist is Nicolai the Russian, the Snake Boat Man, an uncatchable gold smuggler coming out of long retirement to make one last desperate high-speed run across the South China Sea for the Syndicate's beautiful heiress. And what a glorious run it is! Han Solo, meet Indiana Jones - with a cast of other fascinating characters contributing to the story. First read this book many years ago and found I could no more forget it than I could forget Indie or Han, even if the story was melodramatic. Finally had to find it online, used, and buy it because I couldn't stand the itch of wondering if it was really as exciting as I remembered. It was, and I'm tickled to own it. The book is a summer movie in print, and would have been a box office smash in the right hands.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Very great piece of Literature
Comment: Macau is the portugese island off Hong Kong and in this book it is run by a Syndicate which is not so much feared anymore with the new leader.

It is based around a final run of gold to Hong Kong to pay off a debt and hard to explain. But it all comes together in the end. Though not appropiate for kids due to sexual explicit material it is a good read.
