Set in the remote boat-building islands and seas of the Malay Archipelago, One Wise Fool is a semi-autobiographical, action-packed adventure tale. It concerns a young ex-university lecturer who in the vain search for inner peace and release from his life-long dilemma, foregoes a secure academic career for the vagaries of a South East Asian sea gypsy lifestyle. Through his remarkable survival of a series of death-defying misadventures, he finally emerges from a series of horrific nightmares to realise his God-given dream.
