The Big Buddha Bicycle Race
Military Writers Society of America Awards – 2020 Silver Medalist in Literary Fiction Nominated for the 2017 Kirkus Prize The Big Buddha Bicycle Race transports the reader to upcountry Thailand and war-ravaged Laos late in the Vietnam War. On one level a cross-cultural wartime love story, it is also a surreal remembrance of two groups who have been erased from American history—the brash active-duty soldiers who risked prison by taking part in the GI anti-war movement and the gutsy air commandos who risked death night after night flying over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Brendan Leary, assigned to an Air Force photo squadron an hour from L.A., has got it made—until the U.S. invades Cambodia an...
Filthy Appetites
Thailand’s ravenous ghost returns for a feast you’ll never forget! Mai is a krasue – a supernatural creature in the form of a young woman’s severed head with a trail of dangling entrails. For generations, she has been imprisoned on a farm in the Northeast. Now, a series of mishaps has set her loose upon Bangkok where she is on the run from a television ghost hunter hoping to turn her into a celebrity and an eccentric fortune teller bent on her destruction. With spirits abandoning their haunts, family curses coming to light, and a mob of fans demanding selfies, Mai is faced with her greatest challenge of all: where to find her next meal. A cross between H.P. Lovecraft and Ghostbusters, FILTHY APPETITES is an outrageous and action-packed romp across Thailand that will leave you laughing, horrified, and hungry for more. What others are saying "A marvelously eerie journey through Thailand's spiritual underbelly." —Colin Cotterill About the author David Young is a graduate of The University of Illinois at Chicago and a lecturer at the Language Institute of Thammasat University. He lives in Ayutthaya, Thailand.

The Big Buddha Bicycle Race
Silver Medalist in Literary Fiction, 2020 Military Writers Society of America Awards Brendan Leary, assigned to an Air Force photo squadron an hour from L.A., thinks he has it made. But when the U.S. invades Cambodia and he joins his buddies who march in protest, he is shipped off to an obscure air base in upcountry Thailand. There, he finds himself flying at night over the Ho Chi Minh Trail in a secret war that turns the mountains of Laos into a napalm-scorched moonscape. As the emotional vise tightens, his moral fiber crumbles and he sinks ever deeper into a netherworld of drugs, sex, and booze. When a visit by Nixon looms, Brendan dreams up an all-squadron bicycle race to build morale, wi...
