Publisher's Synopsis
The Locust Hunter, set in the humid and turbulent landscape of 1970s Hong Kong, is a coming-of-age tale that follows the journey of Sundance and his five friends as they try to avenge the killing of his 200-year-old pet tortoise, Lord Baltimore. Their village, encamped between the Big Amber (China) and the looming presence of the American army, teeters precariously between the British ideals and the teachings of Tao and Chinese customs.
