William Spencer

You face snarling dogs, ruthless border guards with guns raised, a violent coup, and predators who see you as a sexual trophy. Alone in the mystical East, borders slam shut around you. You're cycling 8,500 miles from England to India, before GPS and cell phones—with just the wind in your face and a barren emptiness ahead.

Amazon Number One Bestseller. “A compelling travelogue”, Union Square Review.

This is the riveting true story of a young man’s solo bicycle odyssey: freezing in the Anatolian mountains of Turkey, confounded by butterflies in the empty Iranian desert, passing through the rubble of a coup in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and surviving dire illness in Pakistan's Indus valley. His journey ends in the heart of the subcontinent, having glimpsed true freedom. This is an account of humankind’s essential goodness, of trusting unseen hands that can steer us from disaster, and of learning that the way out is through.

 Unsolicited listener reviews:
