Once more, Tim Cahill, intrepid voyager to the most mind-boggling and extreme of locations, sets forth into the wild and wonderful. Tim Cahill brings 'em back alive. Not only has he survived fantastic journeys through the Himalayan rapids, the Grand Terror of Montana, and Dian Fossey's forbidden zone, he writes about them, too. Fearless and hell-bent on destroying all obstacles in his path, Cahill takes us to places rarely seen and barely endured. All admonitions and warnings be damned- Tim Cahill dares us to follow him wherever danger and craziness lurk. And to laugh as he prevails.
'Tim Cahill is a good companion to quip with while you explore most of the continents, taking time out, as few of us rarely do, to get good and properly lost' * New York Times Book Review *
'What lifts his pieces above the level of counter-culture high jinks are the quality of Cahill's prose and the depth of his knowledge. He can evoke natural phenomena as vividly as any writer I'm familiar with' * Washington Post *
'Tim Cahill lives the life of adventure we all wanted when we were kids' * Village Voice *
'A writer blessed not only with wit and style but feeling and compassion' * San Francisco Chronicle *
'Irreverence is a specialty of Tim Cahill's generation, and he ranks among its apostles' * Washington Post *
