Confessions of a Knight Errant is a comedic, picaresque novel in the tradition of Don Quixote, featuring a flamboyant cast of characters. Dr. Gary Watson is the picaro, a radical environmentalist and wannabe novelist accused of masterminding a computer hack that wiped out the files of a major publishing company. His Sancho Panza is Kharalombos, a fat, gluttonous Greek dancing teacher wanted by the secret police for cavorting with the daughter of the Big Man of Egypt. To survive, they must embark on a hurried journey to the refuge of a girls camp in rural Texas. However, their troubles don't end there, as they soon find themselves on the run again after discovering a body connected to Middle East antiquities nearby.

The novel explores themes of environmentalism, social justice, and the consequences of technological advancements. Through its humorous and adventurous narrative, Confessions of a Knight Errant offers a satirical critique of contemporary society and its obsession with power, money, and fame.

The characters in the novel are well-developed and memorable, each with their unique quirks and motivations. Dr. Watson, for instance, is a brilliant scientist who is driven by his passion for the environment and his desire to make a difference in the world. Kharalombos, on the other hand, is a lovable rogue who is more interested in food, wine, and women than in saving the planet.

The setting of the novel is also noteworthy, with the girls camp in rural Texas providing a contrast to the urban environments of the main characters. The camp is a haven for young girls who want to escape the pressures of society and explore their interests in a safe and supportive environment.

Overall, Confessions of a Knight Errant is a delightful and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of comedy, adventure, and social commentary. Its unique blend of humor, adventure, and social commentary makes it a must-read for anyone who enjoys a well-written and thought-provoking novel.
