About this listen

What happens when a journey goes wrong? What happens when a travel book doesn't have a happy ending?

Stu Nugent was never a good candidate for a round-the-world cycling trip. He was, and remains, a coward. In a flash of uncharacteristic daring, he attempted to cycle the Northern Silk Road, from Shanghai to Europe. He failed. He failed dramatically.

Against a backdrop of the world's most staggering, awe-inspiring landscapes, he was forced to smoke opium at gunpoint, attacked by a snake in a remote Kyrgyz river, robbed at gunpoint by the police, and eventually imprisoned in anonymous jail somewhere on the Kazakh steppe.

How did it all go so wrong?

This is a fantastic travel & adventure story and even more so that that it is real personal experience and read by the author himself, Checkout his YT channel Bat Country if you want to hear more from him. Stu you should become a professional ebook narrator, your voice and delivery is superb, I hope you do more audiobooks you have a real talent for this. I enjoyed this so much I did not want it to end. Highly recommend this to anyone !
