"Following the extremely successful book 'Tropical Quest', Derek Townsend set out on another journey - this time to explore the Orient. Once again his travels have been long and thorough, enabling him to capture the true atmosphere and excitement of the mystic east. Many critics have commented on his acute observation and forthright style - "as a truly professional writer he has learned the advantages of calling a spade, a spade.
