When Oxford student Thursday Jones leaves England for Cambodia, she hopes only to practise her Khmer and earn a little money on a river cruise. But Thursday's fiery spirit soon draws her-and her Irish companion, Liam O'Connor-into a web of danger along the Mekong.
As purser and security officer aboard the Maid of the Mekong, they discover that the luxury cruise line hides dark secrets. Beneath the charm of tropical temples and tranquil waters lurks a ruthless Russian drug cartel, and when the ship is taken hostage, Thursday must use every ounce of courage to save the passengers and herself.
From Oxford's cloisters to Cambodia's chaotic streets, Far To Go is a thrilling tale of love, danger, and discovery. Thursday's mother always said, "Thursday's child has far to go." She was right.
