This thrilling, unpredictable, yet sometimes hilarious quest, takes you from the fashionable London restaurant scene to the wild, untamed jungles of the Cardamom Mountains, where an English baker helps a Cambodian refugee searching for his missing family and an elusive plant, the source of an exquisite spice.
After receiving word from a Cambodian-based American P.I. claiming to have found the family, the unlikely pair embarks on a quest to reunite them and locate the plant, which the Cambodian found near his village before witnessing the Khmer Rouge herd his family away like animals over thirty-years earlier. However, the pair are unaware the P.I. is a disgraced former DEA agent with ties to a major drug cartel, who coincidently, also want the plant, believing it to be a mythical opium poppy, rumored to produce undetectable heroin.
About the author
Robert A. Webster is a multi-genre author based in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Originally from Cleethorpes, UK, he embodies both hearty wit and adventurous vigor, making his prose insanely memorable and incessantly enjoyable. His unique brand of snarky humour and imaginative storytelling breathe vivid life into his work, which combines comical British characters with exotic Southeast Asian settings. The result is "brilliant" and "unpredictable," as Dinorah Blackman of Readers' Favorite says.
His first novel Siam Storm received rave reviews in the expat community in southeast Asia. Its sequels, Chalice and Bimat, were similarly acclaimed. Protector, the fourth book of the Siam Storm series, continues the journey of the lovable scallywags who have a penchant for mischief. The books document high-octane escapades and colourful, fantastical narratives that don't stop.
His other hilarious novels include Fossils and Spice, and his journey into the Paranormal genre with PATH and Next makes him an adaptable imaginative writer.
When he's not crafting unforgettable stories, he enjoys snorkelling, self-deprecating humour, and the warm climate of Cambodia.
