Book excerpt: The beauty and luster of passion and love counterpointed by the darkness of the criminal underworld and the Cambodian holocaust taunt Jason, a young American college grad. He and Rachany, a beautiful woman who works at the Russian Market, are pursued by a mysterious foe, and they flee across Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. They see elephants in misty forests, exotic tribes, ancient cities... They end up in Burma's rebellion, where they are pulled into the violence, into the core of journeys - the adventure of life tinged with the search for meaning, purpose and love. It's a coming-of-age story that shows we all should be careful what we wish for. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Richard Marranca has published many stories, essays and poems and has three online books available.
