"The stories of other writers—locals
and expats—maybe likened to sketches or drawings, while those
of Christopher G. Moore are paintings or murals. In his dozen
novels to date he not only describes the Realm, but interprets
it."
-- The Bangkok Post
"Well worth waiting
for."
-- Bernard Trink,
The Bangkok Post
“Moore is a genuine novelist who just
happens to employ the conventions of the thriller genre, that
his real interests are believable human behaviour and way
cultures cross-pollinate and sometimes clash. This is real
prose, not Raymond Chandler stuff, and his motives are as
close to art as they are to entertainment. Read him.”
