Book Description
In Jakarta, Sam Rivers is all set to marry his Indonesian
love, Fon. But life takes an odd turn when, against her advice, he goes
into business with Pak Suryono to smuggle a semi-human creature from the
archipelago to Australia.
Madness? Yes, but typical of a white man. His behaviour in Kenukecil is no
surprise to its people, nor are his peculiar companions - including
disgraced returnee Pak Wim and the flame-haired, husband-seeking Dr
Aletheia Groeber, bestselling American author of anthropology tome "Fuck
The Savages". All of which helps explain the island's popular prayer: "May
both God and the ancestors protect us, for here comes another one."

late?
