A surf odyssey that reveals a rarely seen glimpse of Indonesia and its people: funny, compassionate, angry, wild, clever. It's for anyone who has the spirit of travel wedged in their soul.

'My dead friend is sending me postcards. It's like a voice from hell.'

'I saw Castro die.

A week later the postcards started.

One a month - Indonesian breaks,

steep peaks over sharp coral.

All signed: Castro.'

Goog's best mate Castro vanished into the Southern Ocean, but his body was never found.

So Goog flies north, chasing the ghost of his dead friend. He hooks up with Niagara - a young American hunting his own illusions - and together they set off on a wild, gritty surf odyssey. But are they actually at the mercy of an unseen puppet master, and what will the find in the surreal shadow-lands of Indonesia?

From the author of Rhino Chasers, Indo Dreaming is a vivid and enigmatic novel for anyone who has the spirit of travel wedged in their soul.

Grant's ear for speech is unerring Rhino Chasers is powerful and promising debut.' Australian Bookseller and Publisher
