Book excerpt: In 1980s Burma, the British ambassador's son goes missing. Discovered in the north of the country, Michael Atwood is in imminent danger, trapped between sides fighting a bitter civil war and with no way of getting back to Rangoon. His best hope of salvation is to trust Thuza, a ruby smuggler who offers to help him escape. Beautiful and deeply scarred, Thuza has spent her entire life in a frontier town between rebel and government forces, never choosing a side but trying to make a living from both. For Thuza, the ambassador's son is her ticket out of poverty. For Than, an ambitious military officer, exploiting those caught up in the war offers an opportunity for promotion and distinction. But as all three learn to their cost, in this exotic, enigmatic and savage country, everyone has a price. This is a tale of ambition, salvation and hope that confirms Lucy Cruickshanks as a master storyteller.

As a US Army deserter, Alexander is a man without country; trapped in a life he no longer controls and embroiled in the dark business of trading women. His latest victim is Hanh, a rural girl who moved to Hanoi to escape inevitable poverty and who sees Alexander's arrival as the answer to her prayers. Neither of them has ever met Phuc - a Vietnamese businessman who backed the wrong side in the war and is now unable to pay his financial and political debts to the Party.

Download or read book The Road to Rangoon written by William C. Risp and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-11 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was too short to be a Hero. A compact five-foot, six-inches tall and built overly stocky. Like any true Non-Hero, he had the rounded gut of either a man who loved his drink in excess or his food in excess. In fact, he was a champion among Non-Heroes, for he tended to go with both. In true Non-Hero fashion, his unkempt beard and hair had the look of wild undergrowth mixed with birds' nests, and the occasional brush pile. And, unlike the stiff, prideful gait of a Hero, his stumbling, flagging shuffle spoke of a man in poor shape, too long on the road, tired, and more than a little unwillingness of movement. As he trudged through the mud, he looked less and less like a Hero. ----------- Smiggins Orserump: Tales in Heroic Fashion follows the exploits of the detestably likable character, Smiggins Orserump. Smiggins, a con-artist extraordinaire who prides himself in being the "non-hero" type, will keep you laughing as he stumbles from one encounter to the next. In The Road to Rangoon Smiggins and his new and unlikely traveling companion tangle with a raging river, meet a colorful gypsy and face a master villain all while searching for a treasure that may not be what it appears to be. ** contains the words "bloody 'ell" and "arse" **
