    Summary:
    After that summer in Kabul province, the young freelancer became a staff reporter for The Times of London, covering conflicts in Northern Ireland, the Gulf, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Balkans, but Afghanistan never let him go. A young devil-may-care Englishman, determined to report on the Soviet war and make a name for himself, makes a fateful commitment to a swashbuckling Afghan guerrilla commander. Not only will he go inside the capital secretly and live in the network of safe houses run by the resistance, he will travel around the city in a Soviet Army jeep, dressed as a Russian officer. Waiting in the mountain camp, from where Niazuldin's band of fighters lived and planned their hit-and-run attacks on Soviet troops, Ed Gorman discovers what it means to experience combat with men whose only interest is to be killed or martyred. Death of a Translator is a searingly honest description of a mind haunted and eventually paralysed by the terror of post-traumatic stress disorder.

    Summary:
    Full of self-deprecating humor and unrelenting optimism, Doodles is an anthology of collected stories and revelations from an adventurous soul. This audiobook provides an honest and sometimes provoking look at an amazingly fortuitous yet inauspicious life. From $2 billion sales deals to corrupt officials in foreign countries and surgeries during tornadoes, the engaging stories are told with raw detail and humorous insight. Life is lived on a regular cycle, following a typical row-after-row monotony. The odd occasion and unique moments are found in the doodles along the margins. Generating over $100 million in revenue by way of four companies in less than five years, Tom Searcy has lived a remarkable life. He has conquered the Grand Canyon - rim to rim in a single day. He has run marathons, competed in triathlons, and written four books, one of which became a best seller. Tom's greatest accomplishment, however, comes in the form of his beautiful wife and three amazing children. After a life-time battle with epilepsy and a sudden heart attack, Tom wants people to remember that the unpleasant moments in your life only make the beautiful moments shine that much brighter.
