I really enjord this book and was gripped by the second chapter and found it difficult to put the book down. It is well written and it gave me more of an insight into S.E. Asia and I fell in love with the three unlikely heroes (Ghurkas) and the civil engineer. The plot was insightful and also very worrying that this goes on in this day and age.
I would recommend this book to others who would enjoy a good book.

I picked this book by chance, interested in the topic and the travel experience of the writer. The plot is fast moving and realistic, the text paints locations in the Far East and U.K with colour and detail and the different threads of the story come together in a clever conclusion. I enjoyed it

A clever and absorbing story of evil practice in the Far East which requires the intervention of great resourceful characters to get it stopped.
This is a fast paced thriller which paints great pictures of the Far East and it’s people and culture.
It all comes together in a dramatic finish, a great book and well worth the read.
