"ENDLESSLY ENTERTAINING! He is 'Dash in a Tropical Wonderland' in this offbeat adventure with equally quirky characters. A fun journey -- don't miss it!" -- James Roby, The UrbanKnights Series PACIFIC DASH is the offbeat and colorful new novel following the vagabond life journey of Dashiell Bonaventure, a young American who roams Asia for decades to pursue thrills and truth. This is a vivid work of gaudy fiction that will transport readers to foreign worlds of exotic delight, satisfying fans of armchair global travel, adventure fiction and romance, alike. In 1968, a job transfer catapults the family of young Dashiell Bonaventure across the globe, from the Illinois cornfields to a scintillating, fresh new world in far-flung Hong Kong. Though the innocent teen believes his expatriate high school experience will just be temporary, he is mistaken. For thus begins Dash's lifelong odyssey drifting between continents and crisscrossing Asia in constant pursuit of adventure and self-discovery. For decades, he wanders through Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Thailand, Myanmar and more. Eccentric and flamboyant personalities roll through his unplanned life while Dash roams the jungles, beaches, and cities of the Far East, living out of a backpack and at other times flying in private jets. Along the way, Dash falls desperately in love but also makes bitter enemies. He saves lives while also nearly losing his own. He backpacks and motorcycles across Indonesia, works in an illegal offshore casino in the Straits of Malacca and later becomes enormously rich in the seedy enclave of Macau as a casino VIP junket pioneer. PACIFIC DASH is the next best thing to your own journey down the colorful back alleys of Asia. Sparkling with anecdotes and color, it charms readers by parachuting them into festivals, culture, and vice dens of the Far East. The story unwinds at a furious pace, truly a mad dash: From a sudden disaster at international high school in cosmopolitan Hong Kong ... to fantasy years jetting around the globe as collegiate protégé to the world's reigning literary superstar ... From a stunning and dreamlike backpacking idyll through culture-lush Indonesia ... to his unplanned decade aboard a sleazy floating casino in the Straits of Malacca ... finally to Dash's stunning rise to power as the wealthiest Westerner in Asia and king of the casino business across all of Greater China. With PACIFIC DASH, readers experience life amongst Asia's elite, the young princesses and princelings at the international high school in 1960s Hong Kong. They hang out with Aussie surfer dudes in Bali and go tromping down the 1970s hippie trail to Afghanistan, Nepal and beyond. They thrill to illegal high-stakes baccarat tables on the high seas and gorge on spicy foods eaten by hand off banana leaves. And they fall in love with the gorgeous Fiona Lo Ting-Ting while making friends with intriguing characters like Snakehead Goh, PY (Little Fatty) Lee, Chickie Schmidt and Jackson Toh. This karma-laced tale is akin to a mash-up between a Paul Theroux travel narrative and Alex Garland's 'The Beach' with a little Forrest Gump tossed in, too -- the latter because amazing, truly unexpected adventures just keep happening to good old Dash. PACIFIC DASH is the newest offering from BANANA LEAF BOOKS, a new imprint specializing in the adventures of young Westerners adrift in in the East.

The eve of World War 2. Hitler is finalising his plans for the conquest of Europe and flexing his muscles in Spain, while the Japanese are poised to invade China, and eyeing off the resources of the East Indies and Indochina to fuel their war machine. Dangerous times, but there are still profits to be made by men like hard-bitten Skipper Bill Rowden and his vagabond crew, as they work their aging tramp steamer around the treacherous waters of the Far East. Uncharted reefs, tropical storms, corrupt officials, smuggling and piracy are all in a day's work to Rowden and his crew, which includes an embittered hard drinking aristocrat, a knife wielding Welshman and a hot-headed, hard-fisted Australian. On what begins as a routine voyage to New Guinea, Rowden discovers an illegal shipment of arms concealed in his ship, setting off a chain of increasingly dangerous events that drag him unwittingly into the centre of Nazi, Soviet and British attempts to gain the upper hand, before war finally breaks out. Entangled with Chinese warlords, triads and a beautiful Russian adventuress, Rowden narrowly escapes Shanghai before the bombs start to fall, but his enemies are closing in. Deep in the Pacific, in a remote coral fringed lagoon, Rowden and his crew face a violent and explosive confrontation, with little more than fists and wits to keep them alive. "Oriental Vagabonds is the rollicking, thrill-a-minute adventure story of courageous-but-flawed tramp steamer Captain William "Bill" Rowden and the rag-tag crew of the Oriental Venture as they ply their often-dodgy cargo trade through the dangerous and lawless Asia Pacific region in the looming shadow of World War II. Featuring wonderfully chiselled characters you'll remember for a lifetime and an edgy, twisted plot, it's a ripper swashbuckling adventure on the high seas - so, gulp down those seasick pills and buckle in for an exhilarating ride." PETER RAMSHAW, Founder and CEO of eText Press Publishing and the author of "Shepherd's Crook" (aka Pistol) and "Parallax" (writing as Ric Shaw).
