Summary: The Missionary Position
Review: I enjoyed the book very much. I was especially impressed with the discription of the territory in which the characters found themselves. Having spent time in the Irian Jaya area I could relate to the subtle yet dramatic differences of the cultures they had to contend with. Mr. Dinlocker has done a remarkable job in combining the natural resistance to change felt by human nature and the compassion required to accomplish the task at hand. I'm looking forward to more of his works.

Summary: INTRIGUING, INTERESTING, ADVENTURE
Review: Recommended for readers who like foreign intrigue and adventure, with New York/Italian and Indonesian reality mixed in. Set in the 1970s in a world unknown to most of us; provides some insight into another culture and non-governmental expats. Captivating and fun.

Summary: Great read, couldn't put it down. Culturally interesting!
Review: The author has lived and worked in a range of third world countries in relative calm and combustion. His experience gives the book a sense of current reality as well as political and religious intrigue.
