Query: Boring and confused plot

Maybe you need to have read the dozen or so previous books to be able to understand exactly what is going on in this one. The hero characters are hateful, the plot is hard to follow and the story moves at a snail's pace.From what I can understand the main character (I can't even remeber his name!) is assigned to protect a landowner in Penang from a Burmese hotel group. Beyond that I don't have a clue what the plt was meant to be. This really is a terrible book and I'm sorry I wasted my time on trying to figure it out.
