A fast paced contemporary eco-thriller with guts, written by a real life undercover sleuth. Author Dave Currey, as front man for TV's award-winning Animal Detectives has spent 25 years leading undercover teams that "seem to live their lives on the pages of a crime novel" says The Face. Four severed limbs delivered to separate addresses in Borneo: a warning from the billion dollar timber Mafia. Two young men kidnapped while swimming naked in the dense Borneo jungle. Left for dead, Englishman Matt and local Dayak guide Koto, stripped of everything, draw on their vastly different experiences and instincts to survive the dangers of the wild - home to giant crocodiles, endangered orang-utans - and trillions of mosquitoes. Forest Minister Probo, surviving an assassination attempt, sets out to break the timber Mafia's corrupt stranglehold on his country. Murder, politics, Islamic extremism and the world's press mercilessly add frightening layers to this breathless adventure - the terrible consequences of our demand for tropical wood. "Dave Currey's work concerns life and death, including his own" - Sunday Mirror Magazine. "An exciting and thought provoking sexy thriller ... Nature vs man's greed brought home by Currey who has lived the danger" Rula Lenska, actress and conservationist.

Stripped should be a rip roaring success - it is a must read; I could not put it down once I had started.
Readers will be teased and tantalized by the complex sexy eco plot. Currey has you sitting on the edge of your chair and at the same time educating you in the eco world of rain forest preservation. it is an eye opener to gain an understanding of the complex workings of the timber trade, the politics and the bribery which unfold throughout the novel. it is well written so much so that one can picture every scene from Brixton to the jungle of Borneo one can visualize snakes, orangoutangs and exotic pant life, a world of wonder.
Good one Mr Currey - can't wait for the next installment

I found it hard to put Stripped down once I had started reading it. A breath taking, nerve racking page turner, I was almost afraid to continue, anxious what may happen next. This novel is all the more poignant as Dave has experienced what he writes about and I can't help but feel most of it is factual, or indeed within the realms of possibility. Highly recommended without reservation.

Exciting and fast paced - I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys an adventure thriller with a point. You're taken from London to Borneo, Currey describing the scenes with a photographer's eye. The complex plot of political and criminal intrigue is beautifully interwoven into a wonderful discovery of the tropical rainforest through the main characters' lives. The story explains what the forests are up against so much more clearly than anything else I've seen.
You won't want to put it down.
