Roppongi
"Roppongi, Tokyo. In a shadowy but glamorous world designed for maximum hedonism, things and people are not  always what they seem. 'Roppongi'  may yet prove to be a cult adventure-travel  novel on a par with Alex Garland's 'The Beach' or Gregory David Roberts's 'Shantaram."Fresh Underground Culture Magazine: fucmonline.com/fucmwp/?p=1329"The state of 'reality' can always be questioned. Zack, the protagonist in this tale of debauchery, starts blind to the concept of excess, but it can quickly become all too real. 'Roppongi' is an enticing novel that should prove hard to put down."Mary Cowper - Midwest Book Review"Written by a seasoned industry insider, 'Roppongi' punches through the impossibly glamorous surface of Tokyo's 'High Touch Town' and plunges the reader deep into its seedy underbelly ... showing us a disturbing side of Japan not often written about in the English language."Fredrik Hjelm - 2002 US Champion - Muay Thai K1Winner of an Honourable Mention (General Fiction) - 2012 Hollywood Book Festival Awardshollywoodbookfestival.com/winners2012.htm"For those who have experienced it, especially during the heyday, Roppongi is difficult to put into words. And as Zack says at one point, when he is playfully allowed to look directly at the camera, "Someone should write a book about this." We can thank Nick Vasey for doing just that."Tom Boatman - The Tokyo Reporter"An atmospheric, but rambling novel about crime, sex and drugs in the notorious Roppongi section of Tokyo ... this novel ... owes much to the spirit of Kerouac and Burroughs."IndieReader.com
