      Dedicated to the fine few, the Brave; the Realised, bound to a Cause others have closed their eyes to, a Sacrifice that can never be measured.

      Acknowledgements

      Many thanks to my good friends Dr Jawad K and Ms Adrina Agus Din who allowed me to relentlessly bounce ideas and forward my 'freshly baked' chapters direct to their mobile phones, with no regards to the unsocial hours in anticipation of their immediate and nurturing feedback.

      Preface

      This supernatural sci-fi thriller book is the first book in the series. As I could not wait to tell you the story as soon as possible. I have decided to release the book bit by bit, 'day by day.' as the events in the world of 'The Last Bastion of Ingei' reveals itself. I can send you updates and offers on the next book release if you register yourself with http://www.b1percent.com email list.

      As you will find out, I have not mentioned which Southeast Asian country, this story is based on, so as to avoid sensitivities, but it should be easy to guess. In the past few years, I have discovered some truths and untruths about the Unseen who appear in shadows in the fleeting moments of our weakness, in times of their accumulated strength.

      The Unseen work beyond the jungles and into our modern global world to sow fear and discord as they seek to regain what they believe to be rightfully theirs - our world. And yet we are all unaware, blinded by the dazzle of hustles, deaf to the beat of our own hearts trying to make sense of an existence that is spiralling out of control, as the corrupt offer themselves to lead us out of the chaos.

      What if I told you that this story it is actually based on a number of real accounts, real legends and real tragedy, the characters based in this book and the book series is actually based on real people, some characters are mash of other characters so as to protect their real identity...

      What if I told you one of the main stories involved is a quiet account of an actual soldier who went missing for 23 days in the jungles of Labi, and when he was found malnourished and in bad shape, he said he was in a 'village' not of this world...

      What if I told you that the search party which included elite rangers had witnessed the most bizarre of horrific events in the jungles of Labi...

      There is a local saying that we should leave things the way they are, and yet the injustice remains hidden right in front of us, in front of our very eyes.

      30th November

      Arowana

      Location: Ingei River, Labi

      Boi knows he should not be there.

      The Ingei river is teeming with life, a wildlife sanctuary, protected by law but trespassed by many of the likes of Boi, poachers who will never understand the term ‘wildlife protection’ and will never understand the number of species that have yet to be discovered.

      After a few days' journey upstream on his single-engine wooden boat or ‘perahu’, Boi reaches his secret fishing spot on the Ingei river. He is well-prepared, stocked up on cheap illegal Indonesian cigarettes, dry food rations, soft drinks and a GPS receiver.

      He will be 40 next month, and wonders what he should buy for his birthday. Working as a security guard at the local hospital barely pays the household bills. He drops down a couple of underwater traps into the brownish yet clear river and then casts his lucky fishing line.

      His usual fishing buddy, Johari, is not with him this time as he is unwell with the flu. So he says anyway.

      I’m going to win big, Jo.

      Boi smiles on the thought of not having to share his catch this time.

      Usually, his partner and him would catch exotic fishes, especially the much desired Arowana fish (an Osteoglossidae) – a favourite amongst Asian aquariums - and store them in polystyrene boxes, equipped with battery powered aerators. Then they would sell the fishes to their agent, who is well connected to a network of local and international collectors, keen to part their money for rare and beautiful specimens. Boi has his own network of clients he found on Facebook. He neither comprehends nor does he care that the Arowana is on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature or IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

      Being a pathological day-dreamer, he dreams about driving a posh sports car and ‘picking up’ beautiful women. The kind of women who would not even notice him on a normal day.

      His ambitious endeavour is pushed by recent Facebook posts of other poachers who had caught an unclassified ‘Super Golden Blue-Red Arowana’ fish. A Golden Arowana itself is a rare and much prized fish whilst a Super Golden Blue-Red Arowana is unheard of until now. The secret frenzied bidding that ensued, pushed prices spiralling to that of a luxury saloon car. Whilst casting his line, Boi daydreams driving a new ‘Godzilla’; the Nissan GT-R at breakneck speed on the highway – his feeble mind not understanding that he could never afford the maintenance costs of such a beastly supercar.

      Today, the slow moving river is coloured like lightly brewed tea, almost clear, with most of the riverbed visible from the surface. Boi ponders upon his luck, perhaps the clear water must be a good sign of good fortune.

      The Arowana loves its prey: small fishes, insects
