Rich Archer is a freelance graphic designer wrapping up a digital nomad year in Thailand. When his best friend Monteblan arrives unannounced, plans change. Late night coincidences lead them to a cryptic stranger in an old Bangkok bar. He speaks of Chicken 65. Chicken 65 is a rally race running through South East Asia since the Viet Nam era. Once a year, driving duos leave Bangkok at dawn, tearing through Thailand into Laos, then veering into Viet Nam where a chicken is waiting. The team who brings the bird back to Thailand-- still alive-- takes the race. Entered into the Chicken Bible, they win free drinks in Bangkok for life, plus the legendary honor of being "Chicken". For the thrill seekers, lunatics, party animals, and petty criminals who fly in to run Chicken 65 every year, there is no higher prize. And nothing they won't do to take it. Joining the race, Rich and Monteblan are thrown into a high speed chase of tricks and double crosses, where treacherous turns hide snipers, dynamite, black magic, magic mushrooms, switchblades, switchbacks and armed revolutionaries. While bookies bet and bribed authorities turn a blind eye, Chicken 65 roars through lawless lands, showing two friends real freedom... and the real price such freedom demands. Like Fight Club meets Cannon Ball Run, Chicken 65 is a hilarious collision of mayhem and comedy, where laughter, action, and insight race through 500+ fever pitch pages. Part hallucination, part revelation, Chicken 65 is a wild, irreverent ride through the world's most exotic lands.
