Spectator says
Thursday, May 23, 2013 at 5:36AM Nice Review of Red Nile in the Spectator: "it provides a feast of quirky, fascinating bits of knowledge, both funny and memorable".
I have a new book out on May 23 2013: Red Nile- biography of the world's greatest river. It's on Amazon for preorder. Otherwise I am writing about extreme places and extreme people in a new novel about the desert.
For a different take on exploration and new expeditions go to theexplorerschool.com
