Despite private audiences with the Dalai Lama, a swami, and a cannibal, all of whom gave him important advice, the most significant revelations come as Wood stands at the end of his quest."- Lee E. "Wood skillfully intersperses cultural, political, religious and historical information about the region he trekked through with beautiful, detailed descriptions of the people and countryside. "In the macho, adrenaline-fueled arena of TV adventurers, Levison Wood is that rare beast: the real deal."- Radio Times (UK) As in the previous book, his character sketches of his local guides are sharply drawn and memorable."- J. "Wood's skills as a travel writer have not diminished and his descriptions of the terrain and cultures he encounters are vivid. A former British army officer, a veteran of engagements in Afghanistan, he's just the kind of guy you want with you on an adventure." "Exhilarating.During his trek, he encounters horse-mounted Kyrgyz nomads, breaks his arm in a car wreck, climbs a few mountains and meets the Dalai Lama. "Britain's best-loved adventurer.he looks like a man who will stare danger in the face and soak up a lot of pain without complaint."
