Bugis Nights

Travel the trade winds from far east Indonesia to the Lion City aboard a Bugis spice ship named God Bless. A young English backpacker runs into a bunch of French adventurers on a remote Indonesian island and gets swept up in their madcap scheme to buy a traditional wooden sailing ship from a people once famed as pirates-the Bugis-and sail it to distant Singapore.

Bugis Nights harks back to a Golden Age of travel, and a young man's quest for adventure. Be magically transported between the sun-drenched islands and stormy crests of the Java Sea, the high roads of the Himalayas, and the promise of love, fostered in a Tibetan sandstorm.
