NST Publishes My Response
Lizard King: Facts Tell the Tale of Book's Intentions, NST, 9-26-2008
Last Sunday, Malaysia’s national newspaper, the New Straits Times, ran a terrific 3-part feature on THE LIZARD KING. The story covered the book, my background in writing it, and included the story of Malaysia’s Anson Wong, who went to prison in the United States for reptile smuggling.
A side-box to the main story was titled, provocatively, “A Work of Fiction, Says Wildlife Department.” Naturally, a response was in order… I am grateful to the NST for running it. See the posts below for the original news article.

Great coverage Bryan. Azrina is really excellent; she works with us as TRAFFIC-Southeast Asia’s representative on the ASEAN-WEN support program, as you surely know.
