Owen Blue's journey through thirteen time zones is at once both riveting and an absolute delight! This whirlwind of a read transports the reader into a series of startling events, belly-laugh eliciting barroom moments, the travails of hitchhiking and the search for one man's burning desire for inner peace. Mr. Jebb has done a superlative job with this book and I highly reccomend it. I anxiously await his next novel!

Having lost himself in a myopic obsession with law and order, Owen finds himself, and literally wraps his arms around the world. Through a forthright and personal style we witness a series of events and encounters which round out the corners of the 'ultra- square' Officer Drew Owen.
