About this listen
Imagine cycling from England to India—an 8,500-mile epic journey, before GPS, social media, or cell phones. You’re traveling alone through the mystical East as borders slam shut; you confront wild animals, sexual predators and a deep cultural divide.
Amazon Number One Best Seller
This is the riveting true story of a young man’s solo bicycle odyssey: freezing in the Anatolian mountains of Turkey, confounded by butterflies in the empty Iranian desert, passing through the rubble of a coup in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and surviving dire illness in Pakistan's Indus valley. His journey ends in the heart of the subcontinent, having glimpsed true freedom. This is an account of humankind’s essential goodness, of trusting unseen hands that can steer us from disaster, and of learning that the way out is through.

What a journey!
I met the author on a train after we had both just finished the John O’Groats to Land’s End cycle in the UK. I love India and I love cycling but hearing about some of his adventures, I think I will stick to more local rides. His tale is incredible, it is delivered in an honest and humble manner. I enjoyed hearing about his experiences from the mouth of the author himself. Sound quality wasn’t the best, but it didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the title.
