Overview

Travel the trade winds from far east Indonesia to the Lion City aboard a Bugis spice ship named God Bless. A young English backpacker runs into a bunch of French adventurers on a remote Indonesian island and gets swept up in their madcap scheme to buy a traditional wooden sailing ship from a people once famed as pirates-the Bugis-and sail it to distant Singapore. Bugis Nights harks back to a Golden Age of travel, and a young man's quest for adventure. Be magically transported between the sun-drenched islands and stormy crests of the Java Sea, the high roads of the Himalayas, and the promise of love, fostered in a Tibetan sandstorm.

"""What a tale... shades of Joseph Conrad!"" - Don Shapiro, former TIME correspondent ""I devoured it in one sitting... a page turner that makes one wonder how the hell did we as youngsters throw caution to the wind and trust our lives to some very slender ropes or other bindings."" - Keith Loveard, author 'SUHARTO Indonesia's Last Sultan' ""Truly enjoyable. Makes me wish I could be on the adventure trail once again."" - Alberto Buzzola, Head of Photography, RHYTHMS magazine ""It swept me up and away... I love the pace and the rhythm, and the spare but oh-so-vivid description."" - Deborah Nock, former editor of MUHIBAH, Royal Brunei Airlines Inflight magazine"
