A tale of piety, greed, debauchery and equanimity in a remote Asian kingdom.

It’s 1875, and Chiang Mai, capital of Lanna, is a cultural crossroads of Buddhist monks and Christian missionaries, of spirit doctors and opium smokers, of seductive dancers and Western adventurers.

A sharp rise in teak prices sets off a mad rush for logging concessions, and the forests of Lanna resound to the thwack of axes and the trumpeting of elephants as the mighty trees are felled.

Enter Doctor Marion Cheek, a medical missionary and teak trader, whose exploits in this exotic realm--saving the life of the ruler’s wife, setting up a harem of local beauties, and standing triumphant at the kingdom’s highest point--make him a legend in his lifetime.

A gripping yarn about a Presbyterian medical missionary who is himself converted to the wiles of colonial capitalism and carnality. His faith, fortunes and relationships ebb and flow as do the waters of the rivers which are the infrastructure of the colonial teak trade.

His fate turns on a jungle attack and kidnap which culminates in a trussed headlong decent of a waterfall strapped to a dugout canoe.

This marvellously crafted book is a must read for those who enjoy a thoughtful historical adventure


A great graphic tale of a personal journey based in Chang Mai the teak capital of colonial Lana and Siam
