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?

The author takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions while you root for him through an odyssey across the silk road in a bike. This book is beautifully written and is packed with surprises and challenges all the way through. Loved it.

Powerful and Raw.
