‘Catch Me If You Can meets The Quiet American—a spy thriller filtered through a backpacker’s sunburn and a shot of Red Bull... This is the kind of book you devour in a hammock and then recommend with a grin and a warning: “This is one wild ride.”’ Independent Book Review

‘Those who enjoy political intrigue, interesting characters, and faraway settings will find it all in this entertaining read. Morris is a master storyteller adept at keeping one turning pages deep into the night.’ The US Review of Books

‘No one captures the exhilarating spirit of world-in-upheaval Southeast Asia of the last 30-plus years as authentically as Ron Morris.’ Zsolt Luka, Emmy-nominated director of Around the World for Free

From the press release:

A daring coup attempt, a nation's bloody history, and a chance for love and glory--these are the ingredients of a singular novel that only author Ron Morris could deliver.

Based on true events, In a Country with No Name both charms and horrifies in its detailed account of an ultimately desperate scheme. There are dark compromises, split-second decisions, and bursts of violence that will alter the lives of friends and foes alike.

Author Ron Morris has previously written the breakout novel There Are Still Unknown Places, as well as the short story collection, Last Century. His works are contained in the Author's Lounge Library at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Bangkok.

In a Country with No Name will appeal to today's young adults increasingly disillusioned with life in developed nations and who dream of adventure. It is the first book in the “Bert Mars Adventure” series.

A wide audience will connect with its theme of striving to make one's fortune in a strange land, somehow both ancient and modern.

Anyone who has ever dared to break the rules will find themselves in this tale of hope, espionage, and sudden turns of fortune.
