Read Into the heart of Borneo.
Thanks Marc, I've added "Iron and Silk" to my Amazon wish list. And you're correct, the publisher is the same: Vintage Departures.

When I saw the cover of the first book, I immediately recognized the design from one of my favorite books. If you are interested in exotic locations and people, you owe it to yourself to read "Iron and Silk" by Mark Salzman. It must have been printed by the same publisher.
