When fate brings the family business an offer that sounds just a little too good to be true, Jeff Stetson heads to the wild and wondrous city of Bangkok to take a closer look at their potential business partners. There he discovers that the world outside of Texas is full of surprises, friends, enemies, and Pad Thai. Entered into a Muay Thai tournament after making an angry wager, Stetson Jeff will have to muster all his courage and fortitude if he wants to keep his pride and save face -- literally. Can one young Texan learn the ways of Muay Thai mastery in time to overcome the forces of injustice? From the sun-addled minds of Justin Fike and Adam G. Fleming comes this action-comedy adventure that will get you laughing faster than Stetson Jeff can polish off a porterhouse with barbecue sauce. Beatdown in Bangkok has been called "a cross between Crocodile Dundee, Walker Texas Ranger, and Inspector Clouseau of Pink Panther fame." An underdog story of heroic proportions, Beatdown in Bangkok will probably change your life forever, or at least make you smile at the end of a bad day.
This book follows a good ole boy from Texas to Thailand. The humour is spot on. I laughed myself silly. Stetson Jeff is so funny, and if you happen to be from Texas, you probably know someone exactly like him. I seriously can’t wait to continue the series. Jeff conquers evil abroad all the while sharing useful tidbits of Texas Ranger wisdom. It was a delight to read!
Stetson Jeff Stetson (think Bond James Bond) has left Texas for Thailand. He has two reasons to go: investigate a potential business investment and compete in a martial arts tournament (Muay Thai, to be specific).
This is the first book in a series and I need the other books, like, yesterday. This was laugh out loud funny while not skimping on the action.
This book is a delight and I bet you'll agree with me. I do not envy Stetson Jeff Stetson but I'm glad to read his adventures.
