The Hedonists is a rollicking story of sex and diplomacy in the lives of two dedicated pleasure-seekers: Randall Pascoe Maitland, a young diplomatist who sprinkles his erotic escapades with occasional prickings of conscience and even fewer acts of heroism; and Howard Winston Jocelyn The Third, an up-and-coming executive and ex-Don Juan, now obsessed with a she-devil. Traversing a largely joyous and self-indulgent world, they journey together from Africa via New York and Mexico, to a rambunctious finale in Mugga Way, in far-off Australia. On the way, a beautiful playmate, Angela, recants and shows them another road. Do they take it? Every dedicated, wannabe and closet hedonist will enjoy this fascinating romp towards an answer, supplied by a former Ambassador whose story gives some credence to Angela's claim that "diplomats are the crap end of humanity."
