Scott Mitchell never loved his dad. He has always wanted to
kill the violent father he never loved. But dreaming about him and learning he
has died in an accident a day after is a terrifying experience.
Seventeen-year-old Scot moves to Malaysia with his mother. While Scott misses
California and his best friend, he must learn to adapt in his new environment.
He makes new friends and falls in love with the sister of his best friend. When
she gets kidnapped by a sex trafficking ring, Scott joins forces with his
teammates and volleyball Coach to plan a rescue. But they fall victim to the
same group of criminals. What chances of survival do they have?
This is a spellbinding story that takes readers on
a rollicking ride from the coast of Malaysia to the center of Bangkok, a tale
that features an exciting cast of characters — quirky and richly portrayed.
This propulsive thriller examines the relationship between a son and his
father, an ex-Vietnam vet. The sense of loss is vividly explored and the author
does a wonderful job in painting the psyche of the young protagonist. The world
of sex trafficking is elaborately written in this novel and readers will enjoy
following the hero and his friends as they live a challenging experience,
filled with uncertainty and relying on each other. Starship Malaysia: Lies that Save Lives by Keith Costelloe is a gripping story that
is as resonant as it is entertaining, a novel with strong and mature themes and
characters that are robust and intriguing. The writing is enriched by streams
of consciousness and a setting that comes alive through every page.
