My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my free digital ARC! Unfortunately this one didn’t work for me at all, I only powered through it because it was a review copy and I also needed it to fulfil a challenge. It sounded so promising, set in the Borneo rainforest and about communist insurgencies. But I just found it deathly dull, the constant flora and fauna descriptions made the prose so static it was such a trek to get through it. Also whenever women were mentioned you could place bets on their breasts being described within the next two lines - supple, trembling, plump, we’ve got them all. Few things turn me off a book more.
