PACIFIC ODYSSEY is a Wild Ride! Something Like ‘Poltergeist\u2019 meets \u2018Wall Street\u2019 in a remote Asian kingdom. — James Roby, author of the gritty Urban Knights Series.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<\/b><\/p>\n

PACIFIC ODYSSEY, just published by Banana Leaf Books, is a treat for all fans of international adventure and travel fiction and even romantic fantasy. This captivating story from Chet Nairene, author of the bestselling PACIFIC DASH, offers equal doses of humor, exotica, adventure and romance.<\/p>\n

It is available in eBooks all this week for just .99 at Amazon<\/a>!<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the story of a brilliant but shallow New York business star who gets in over his head versus dangerous Asian occult forces. In order to save his company, he must journey to an odd hermit kingdom hidden deep in Southeast Asia. And once there, things there soon escalate . . . all in the wrong direction!<\/p>\n

In this closed-off, mysterious, but highly ethical new universe, all of Lew Clarke\u2019s modern-day Western knowledge and expertise are essentially useless. He must attempt to navigate the rules of an unfathomable society, but is helped out by a cast pf exotic but charming characters, including Mr. Frog, Wongrat, Uncle Inpanh, Khun Khon and his Amazia sidekick, Boo. Romance strikes the ultra-rural town of Biti, when Lew falls headlong for Boo\u2019s stunning cousin, Miss Nong.<\/p>\n

But after discovering the dark secret that threatens the quirky kingdom, Lew’s entire mission transforms into far more than just saving himself.<\/p>\n

PACIFIC ODYSSEY<\/b> is humorous and at times harrowing, a cautionary tale that pits modern Western values and tech against Eastern mysticism and the occult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
