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?

I came across this man's YouTube channel recently and it had quickly became my favourite channel atm.

He mentioned in a video he had written a book and I not only wanted ro read it but also wanted to find out if there was an audio version narrated by him.

His voice and narration style are captivating and very well done. the story itself could easily be made into a movie and I have enjoyed this book throughouly!

Incredible story brilliantly narrated!

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.

When a book comes your way at the right time it can be life affirming. For me, this book represents a further launch pad into believing another life is possible. Stu writes clearly and opens his world to me in a way I haven't experienced in a long time. Thankyou Stu, I'm recommending this book highly.

A Journey Like no Other.
