You arrive at the airport to be greeted by a sun-tanned clipboard bearer, there to make your dream holiday come true. But behind the smiles, the badge and the suspect command of the native lingo, what really goes on? Are they a happy, celibate team working for the benefit of their clients, or are they at each other's throats to get their share of backhanders, drugs and sleeping with holidaymakers (or each other!)?

Exactly how low is resort manager Alison prepared to go to maximise her cash gains in her last season, and how low is first year rep and none-too-bright former male model Mario prepared to go to win the infamous "Competition"? Which reps will Alison get rid of? Shy Lorraine? Mickey, the first ever black rep? The clubbing mad and girl-crazy Scouse Greg? Or will it be Brad, as we follow him from bedroom to beach, stumbling across company business that he shouldn't?

From the Publisher:

Update on what is fast becoming a genuine cult novel...
At the start of summer 1999, Is Harry On The Boat had sold nearly 20,000 copies. For a first time author through an independent publisher, this is almost unheard of. Given that the book only benefits from limited shelf space in most book shops, it would be fair to say that most of these sales have come from referals. This illustrates that Is Harry... is growing into a GENUINE cult novel, as opposed to simply being given the label 'cult' by the marketing department of a large publishing house.

The author has written a script of the book which has already atracted some serious interest - watch out for details.

Colin Butts is half way through a follow up novel called 'The New Pirates' which is again set in Ibiza, but focusses more on the club scene than the life of the holiday rep.

We are also publishing an exciting new novel by respected magazine writer David Hurst, called 'Rumour Fuelled Society', publication due in January.

Book Description:

The brilliantly funny cult novel about holiday reps in Ibiza.
