Oh man the long way round, very good book indeed.
Another good one that is suppose to come out soon if it hasnt already, is a book written by a man named glen… I cant remember his last name. I cant remember much really other than he was captured by rebels in south america somewhere while traveling by motorcycle and escaped. It was on the news and the guy goes by striking viking on the advrider.com forum.
Wish I could remember more.
