Exchanging Western principles for far-off Thailand, Gunnar Ray programs to teach in the countryside and absorb the country's traditional knowledge. When monsoon rains flood the lands above his used village, catastrophe attacks. Gunnar's innocence is swept downstream along with hundreds of Thai lives. Spiritually adrift, he washes up in the offices of the Bangkok Times, a crusading reporter hell bent on derailing corrupt officials at war with the Thai environment. He's not by yourself. A summons from an enigmatic Buddhist monk with rumoured mystical capabilities and a next to militant love for the jungle is just the type of lead that Gunnar thrives on. In a very forgotten province, he'll test whether his pen is definitely mightier than the military's sword. When the forest-protecting monk of the Northeast is arrested, Gunnar sets off over a cross-country journey to summon support. Together with the monk's beautiful niece as his guide, he navigates the currents and eddies of distant provinces that few Westerners have penetrated. Gunnar's articles targeted at freeing the first-ever imprisoned Thai monk transform him into a higher profile activist-and aim for. In the end he must choose: his growing love for the monk's niece and commitment to the cause, versus the now daily risk of an assassin's bullet.Ecological thriller, love tale, spiritual journey, Samsara scratches the bloody underbelly of any nation incompatible.
