Synopsis

The Prime Minister wants to snorkel in Bali with the tasty new 'Minister of Sustain-Novation and In-Ability', but his maniacal Private Secretary reminds him that the purpose of the visit is to sign the Bali Oil & Gas Access Negotiations (BOGAN) agreement. Meanwhile, the Australian Consul on Bali, Samantha Oates, is warned by Australia's top intelligence and police agencies that the PM's visit is under threat from Balinese terrorist groups. Her dismay is compounded by the sudden disappearance of her second-in-charge, Ryan 'Bloody' Blake, who is responsible for organising the visit. The terrorists lead Australia's finest diplomats, politicians and spies on wild goose chases around the temples, golf courses and art galleries of Bali before the farce is finally exposed by Samantha, with the masterful assistance of a 60-year-old, digital-whiz Granny Geek, and a schoolgirl on work experience. Written in a satirical vein similar to Ben Elton by a former intelligence officer and author for Lonely Planet guidebooks, this racy and engaging action-comedy-political-satire is based almost entirely in Bali. The Oates Trilogy continues in Vietnam and Malaysia.

About this title

About the Author:

Paul Greenway spent one previous life working for an Australian intelligence service in Sydney, Darwin, and Canberra (but he can't tell you any more). He then joined Lonely Planet, writing guidebooks to Mongolia, Iran, Botswana, Poland, and Kenya, among others, as well as Bali. After realizing he was too old to write for backpackers, Paul became a high school teacher in Australia, lived in Indonesia promoting educational development programs, and more recently wrote another guidebook and a photo book about his favorite island. Neglecting to get married, Paul now lives in Adelaide, South Australia.
