The Fake's Regress

The Fake?s Regress is the sequel to The Fake?s Progress. Shortly before 9/11, Sebastian Conyers washes up in a remote corner of Ireland. Neither bowed nor chastened, he happy-go-luckily hitches his wagon to an unheard-of technical college with delusional aspirations to make a name for itself in Saudi Arabia. Though, like every Irishman, Sebastian knows the quote ?To Hell or Connaught,? he is about to learn that the two are not mutually exclusive. One minute he?s engaged to marry a colonel?s daughter, the next he finds himself trussed and gagged in a wooden crate destined for clandestine shipment to Riyadh. And all because his alcohol-stained lips grazed those of a young Saudi student.
