Steele Tollison is content with his new single life, reliable friends, budding romance and bright future. This is all about to change.

Pressured into a one-year assignment that stretches into six, this unlikely expatriate unlocks an odyssey of self-discovery in far-away Indonesia. In this exotic culture, Steele finds adventure in the day-to-day, makes new friends and learns the language. Whenever man-made obstacles threaten critical schedules, he bends the rules in managing global supply contracts and logistics to assure equipment reaches the remote jobsites. Over time he encounters corruption, political upheaval, and the inhumane underworld of sex trafficking.

He later marries an Indonesian girl and enjoys the comforts of family life. But that fragile peace shatters as Indonesia’s economy collapses. Cities erupt in massive protests, looting and deadly rioting. Eluding gangs, roadblocks, and military, Steele combs the tangled city for baby food, finding only empty shelves. When danger escalates and airports close, he must decide - stay behind or escape the uprising with his family on the last flight out.

In a chronicle that is candid, humorous and direct, 
The Equatorial Effect shares raw, captivating tales of romance, danger, personal redemption, and the quest for justice in a world fraught with moral ambiguity.
