Book excerpt: A Date With Death is a novel dealing with two former lovers whose relationships were embroiled in both lust and hate encounters after a one-night stand. Toto, a former drug trafficker, turned over a new leaf and became a reborn Christian, contributing to the building of a new Church and setting up a legitimate tin manufacturing company. Molly Tam, an arms dealer with a dark secret past, had connections with the United States Senators, Congressmen and battleships' Commanders, contravened with shipments of military hardware from the States to the Tamil Tigers in Jaffna. Molly capitalized on the only asset she knew to procure favours from the top brass in the States and enlisted the Tamil Tigers to help her evil cause. Their interests conflicted and churned into hatred, resulting in a war when a subordinate of Toto was caught trafficking in heroin, a trap deliberately weaved by his ex-lover. A continuous chain of revenge from both camps leads to numerous deaths. The adventures take the players to far-flung places in South Africa and Texas, to those closer to home, including Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. One of Molly Tam's captives, a fortune teller who raped her, was satanically eliminated by Land Eating Piranhas, fondly termed The Black Widows, originating from the thick vegetations of Jaffna.

Download or read book Year of the Shanghai Shark written by Mo Zhi Hong and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hai Long is a teenager living in the Chinese city of Dalian. It's the year of the SARS epidemic in China. This is a modern China that's eye-catchingly contemporary. Hai Long and his mates drink Coca-Cola and eat American fast food. They watch American NBA basketball on television and argue whether Michael Jordan is the greatest player ever. They go to English language lessons and hilariously mock Karl, their hopelessly naïve Canadian teacher, who drinks too much beer and is just dying to get away to Thai beaches to hang out with German babes. This is also the year in which Hai Long leaves school to learn the unlikely trade of his uncle. 'Uncle' has many books, but he's actually a highly successful professional pick-pocket who specialises in robbing dazed foreigners - Koreans and Japanese as well as Europeans - and makes special trips to Beijing for the purpose. As we meet a series of colourful characters in Hai Long's life and hang out with him and his mates, we also watch the teenager being trained in the ways of the pick-pocket. This is a sophisticated story of China's new generation severing ties with their cultural past, and rich with a fascinating array of colourful characters who frequent their inner-city apartment block - from Gambler Dang, a high stakes Ma Jiang player, to Fish, a peasant from the countryside and an unlikely friend, and finally Uncle, whose shadowy occupation exerts an irresistible pull on Hai Long's life . . . An accessible yet deceptively clever novel from an electric new voice.
