Synopsis
This gripping adventure novel follows American businessman, Owen Scarlett, through confusing and mysterious events after accepting a seemingly innocuous assignment in the Orient. The author's vivid descriptions of 19th century Southeast Asia create a backdrop of unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells against which Owen's increasingly peculiar and dangerous experiences play out. What begins as an errand with personal motives quickly spirals into a complex chase with unknown adversaries. While the novel mainly addresses the themes of colonialism, fate, and the corrupting power of greed, its greatest strength lies in the character of Owen. He is a complicated man of great integrity yet reckless abandon. His chance encounters with other travelers and his interactions with the native people shape his experience as he struggles to uncover the truth behind a series of bewildering events. This book offers readers an exciting and thought-provoking tale that will transport them to a world both strange and familiar.
