Publisher's Summary

Unforgiving Destiny follows the true story of the 37-year pursuit by authorities on five continents to imprison and execute David McMillan as he travelled as an independent smuggler. Dogged by an obsessed DEA agent, he evades the death penalty in Thailand by escaping prison, only to be "disappeared" in Pakistan after crossing the Afghan border.

After every downfall, McMillan rebuilds his life and network only to find the same agency people arranging capture by any means. In this private history, listeners are taken to the streets of New York City and Colombia, then through the war-zones of Afghanistan and torture cells in Karachi. At the same time, McMillan balances a double life of a London gentleman with the women in his life oblivious to his true nature. Look to the author pages to hear readings, related music over those years, and see the faces behind this extraordinary journey.

“Imagine losing everything you care about. Home, family, freedom, every object that built your life,” writes McMillan. “Then locked in some of the world’s worst prisons. Even if you survive, there are little deaths feeding on your guts - when that happens five times over 30 years, those little deaths drain your soul”. Unforgiving Destiny: The Relentless Pursuit of a Black-Marketeer reveals the ultimate cost of survival in the darkest of dark worlds.

Great Story, Poor Format for it.

I really enjoy Davids' YouTube content and having listened to some audiobooks before, considered it likely I would enjoy it via audible. WRONG. Unlike some of the military audiobooks I have listened to whilst working, I was not really able to enjoy Davids' book when not giving it my full attention.

I also think David being a natural speaker and entertainer, a purely auditory experience loses something and find his YouTube videos more enjoyable.

I think I will buy his actual book as opposed to listening via Audible.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
