Follow the true story of two young, rather naïve, disparate Brits as they venture east to Hong Kong to join the colonial police out there. Initially sucked-in to the adventure, bright lights and unique attractions of the exotic Far East, Alan and Bob gradually find themselves thrown into a world somewhat divergent to the picture painted whilst under training. They begin to butt heads with corruption, colonial excess, privilege and protectionism and run into a varied assortment of connivers, skivers and lucky survivors randomly intermingled, it must be said, amongst a majority of committed and professional police officers.

The story follows our heroes along their journey of discovery, from their eight months of  formal police training to their first postings as ‘real’ policemen. It is filled with such colourful incidents,  experiences and exotic tales, admittedly mixed with liberal doses of tongue-in-cheek humour and literary licence, that you’ll scarcely believe what they encountered.
