Uzbekistan is a country on the edge of the world. One American escapes to this distant land to avoid a debt he can’t repay, while another pursues him to even an old score. They seek fortune and revenge while facing crime lords, corrupt officials, and the drug trade. They each make the unlikeliest friends, and take some unconventional steps to get what they want.

The bazaars, nightlife, and people of modern day Uzbekistan are presented through a gritty, fast-paced story of desperation and ambition.

The Opportunists was recommended by Lonely Planet in their Central Asia guidebook (p.211, 5th Edition, 2010)
