Two foreign travellers who have never met -
Jack, a British man whose life revolves around careful planning, and
Eddie, an Australian who survives mostly on luck and impulse -
never expect their short trip to Kuching to become the strangest adventure of their lives.
Their first encounter at Kuching International Airport is already enough to confuse everyone around them: Jack is too precise, Eddie is too spontaneous. Yet fate brings them together again the next day at the Sarawak Museum of History - the place where everything begins.
An old switch on a rusted cannon, something that should no longer work, suddenly sparks to life. And before they can shout for help, both men are pulled into a whirl of light and flung into the era of the Brooke dynasty - a time filled with conflict, mystery, and cultural tension.
In an instant, they find themselves in a world with no electricity, no phones, and absolutely no clear way home.
Amid chaos and comedy, Jack and Eddie must learn to rely on each other - even though their personalities clash like water and fire. Each step drags them deeper into old Sarawak: its villages, its administrative palaces, the hidden intrigues of colonial rule, and a host of characters they could never have predicted.
Can they survive an era that does not belong to them?
Can they return to their own time before the cannon "disappears" forever?
Or... is this journey leading them to something far greater than time travel itself?
A novel that blends gentle humour, unexpected friendship, and a time-twisting adventure - all set against the rich history and cultural beauty of Sarawak.
Perfect for readers who enjoy light, entertaining stories filled with curiosity and wonder.
