54 Line Drawings, plus 34 Colour Photographs
Sam set off to ride the length of Africa over a year. This year of dramatic adventure evolved into an 8 year, 200,000 mile journey around the world. His first motorcycle adventure travel book ‘Into Africa’ received high acclaim from reviewers and has sold all over the world. Sam has now completed his new book ‘Under Asian Skies’.
Take a look at some of the excerpts and some of the photos.

‘Under Asian Skies’ takes up where Africa is left behind. The adventure hurtles forward from Australia to Germany. It is packed with catastrophes, the sheer joy of being on the road, and the pure adrenaline buzz that each day can bring. Once again, the adventures demand that Sam’s Guardian Angel is on hand to work overtime! What goes wrong, and what can be learned from the disasters? How many of the dreaded lurgies can you catch? What happens when a solo adventurer decides to take a pillion on board? How is a trip like this funded? What’s ‘Full Moon Fever’? Is Asia really mystical? How does a biker deal with the poverty? Is smuggling really a good idea? What kit worked the best? Who else is out on the road? What was that about romance? And what was that about two wheels being the best possible way to see the world?
