"Sam Manicom's fourth book is a gripping rollercoaster of a two-wheeled journey which takes you riding across the dramatic landscapes of Mexico, the [western] United States and Canada ... There are canyons, cowboys, idyllic beaches, bears, mountains, Californian vineyards, gun-toting policemen with grudges, glaciers, exploding volcanoes, dodgy border crossings and some of the most stunning open roads that a traveller could ever wish to see"--Publisher's description.
Sam Mancom’s first travel book Into Africa takes you riding an enlightening, yet daunting journey across fourteen countries between Cairo to Cape Town. It’s completely upfront with the adventures, mishaps, dust, heat and the thrills of overlanding. You’ll find that Sam’s perceptions of people, places and the various predicaments have real depth and texture. Whether he’s being shot at, arrested, jailed, knocked unconscious in the depths of the Namibian desert or living in a remote Tanzanian village, you’ll find that he evokes the sights, sounds and smells with a natural ease that takes you right into each scene.
Sam’s dynamic third book Distant Suns transports you to Southern Africa and South America in an action packed three year journey. You are led effortlessly through these very different worlds by his enthusiasm and his acute observations on everything from human behaviour to remote and stunning locations.
This book is packed with adventure and the pure adrenaline buzz that each day brings. The author narrowly escapes a serious wipeout in the vast Australian outback, he falls critically ill in Thailand and is rescued by a prostitute, he gets arrested in Madras and dodges the manic traffic of India.ś Grand Trunk Road
