- Summary:
- The Last Puppet Master is historical fiction at its best, a picaresque tale of ordinary people living in extraordinary times. The collapse of the Suharto regime after thirty-two years of despotic rule was the most momentous event to occur in Southeast Asia since the Vietnam War. The arrogant actions of one man are destined to change Indonesia forever. British journalist David Collins and his fellow characters must struggle to make sense of the crisis as their world is caught in a vortex of greed, decadence, and death. Irish writer Stephen Rogers, a long-term resident of Jakarta, has given us a novel set in that moment that will stand the test of time.
