WATER FROM THE MOON-1989 Australia Novel-RORY BARNES & JAMES BIRRELL-Superb Book

Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is OUT OF PRINT and a 1989 Australian novel by authors RORY BARNES and JAMES BIRRELL--the book is a softcover copy. This book is in SUPERB condition and the book has a very light crease on the opening edge of the front cover, a slight ding on the bottom right tip of the front surface and just very light shelfwear and light evidence of gentle browsing but NO other significant flaws. The book is titled Water from the Moon: The Language of Corruption is a Universal Language and it was written by RORY BARNES and JAMES BIRRELL; it was published by Penguin Books in 1989.In the pre-dawn quietness John Cooper looked down on Jakarta and was suddenly afraid. His partner dead, the World Bank money disappearing into the local bureaucracy, his Australian sub-contractors playing their own treacherous little games--Cooper knew in an instant that he should abandon the whole project and go home to his wife and child in Queensland. And in the next instant he knew that this was now...impossible.In the darkness beyond the hotel window a net was closing in; a net of allegiances, debts owed, undeclared interests, all manner of strange ties that bind.So what was new? There was always a network of local affiliations that the foreigner couldn't understand. It had been the same in PNG, Fiji, nauru, everywhere John Cooper had ever worked. But he had never panicked before...This fast-paced novel ignores the bright lights of international diplomacy and treaty-signing ceremonies for a seedier, more human world of greed and corruption.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
