Prowling the seedy red-light districts, the underground club circuit and the house parties of wealthy Indonesian society, Moammar Emka offers a unique glimpse into the underbelly of modern, urban Jakarta. This is the book that took Indonesia by storm. Moammar Emka is Jakarta’s answer to Carrie Bradshaw; this is "“Sex and the City”" Indonesian-style!
After the enormous success of Jakarta Undercover, Moammar Emka is back with more on the seedy nightlife and underground sex servics of modern, hip Jakarta. Delving deep into the city’s karaoke clubs, massage parlours and transit hotels, the author takes it upon himself to experience first-hand the tasty delights on offer and what exactly they involve. What is a cat-bath massage? Who are the Mickey Mouse girls? How much does an all-night gigolo really cost? How popular is the after-lunch hand-roll service? From swingers parties to midnight lesbian packages, Jakarta seems to have it all when it comes to sexual services. And if you thought the first book was explosive, Jakarta Undercover II will leave your imagination running wild. Over 500,000 copies of the Jakarta Undercover series sold worldwide in several languages!

Buku ini bukan kelanjutan Jakarta Undercover (sex 'n the city) yang banyak bercerita tentang pengalamanku menyisir kehidupan remang-remang Jakarta. Sama sekali bukan. Jakarta Undercover jilid 2 mungkin baru akan aku rilis sekitar Oktober 2003, tentunya dengan berbagai fenomena baru dari kehidupan seks yang terjadi di Jakarta. Buku Jakarta Undercover sejatinya memang akan aku buat dalam bentuk "trilogi". Jujur, aku akui, semata-mata buku ini lahir karena terlalu banyak uneg-uneg di hati dan "pergolakan batin" yang mengendap di kepala. Tidak saja tentangku, yang punya catatan tersendiri tentang liku-liku mencintai, tapi juga tentang sejumlah laki-laki dan wanita yang dalam perjalanan hidupnya pernah mengenal cinta, meskipun cinta itu ada yang tumbuh di antara gelimang nafsu yang lapar, menggoda, menerkam, dan menggelepar. -GagasMedia- #bukuemka
"Aku banyak melakukan kesalahan, tetapi mencintaimu bukan salah satunya. Aku mencintaimu, sebelumnya. Aku mencintaimu, sesudahnya. Aku mencintaimu, apapun hasilnya." Inta, aku berpikir untuk tidak berpikir tentangmu. Maaf, aku tak mampu. Aku berpikir untuk tidak menantimu. Maaf, aku menunggu. Nuri, aku berpikir untuk tidak mencintaimu. Maaf, aku terlanjur jatuh cinta kepadamu. Aku berpikir untuk tidak terburu-buru. Maaf, aku tergopoh merindukanmu. Aku pikir, aku mencintaimu tanpa ini itu. Aku mencintaimu, benar atau salah. Babak paling menyedihkan dari percintaan bukan perpisahan, tetapi terlambat sadar ada seseorang yang lain di sana yang lebih layak diperjuangkan, bukan seseorang yang sekarang dalam ikatan. Seseorang yang lain, yang diam-diam setia mempertahankan cintanya meskipun separuh hati kamu sayangi. Seseorang yang diam-diam mendoakan dan menunggumu, meskipun kamu telah dijodohkan. Ini cerita tentang cinta antara Bumi, Inta, dan Nuri. Apakah akan menitik bahagia? #MariBaca -EnterMedia- #bukuemka

When Australian Mark Heyward decides to build a home and raise a family on the island of Lombok, east of Bali, he has little idea of what is to come.

The call to prayer echoes in the valleys as the sun drops behind the island. The oceans answer to the tug of the moon, the seasons turn, the rains come and go. Some things never change.

This is the heart-warming story of one family's attempt to build a new life in paradise.
