Moving from head to toe, Sims blends cultural history with evolutionary theory to produce a wonderfully original narrative in which he analyzes the visible parts of the body.

When the geological survey aircraft ‘Yankey Whisky’ was shot down by terrorist in Papua New Guinea, its three man crew survived the crash but were captured by the Indonesian terrorist who had shot them down. Leader of the group, a Chinese National named General Chan put the airmen through a series of horrifying events. Later, they managed to escape with the help of Chan`s `lady friend’ and found a safe haven within the walls of a leper colony. A Russian surveillance ship, anchored off Papua send in a team of Geologists to plunder the air-crafts electronic Geological Survey Equipment, which was highly secret at that time, but General Chan gets there sooner and a skirmish between the two ends with the Yankey Whisky going up in flames. Back home in London, after a party given by a wealthy Arab oil baron, the daughter of Bob Sastry, Captain of the `Yankey Whisky’ suddenly goes missing. Mandy has been kidnapped and taken to the Middle Eastern Town of Marrakech, and it seems is headed for a life of horror inside an Arabian harem. Not for the faint hearted, The Upper Crust unfolds a story of horrific human suffering in graphic detail, yet always with a delicate touch of humor which helps the reader to stay calm through the storm. All is not lost, and an unusual ending is as always inevitable.
