Walking With Terror

What do childhood air raids, criminal gangs, and the world's most dangerous border have in common? They're all part of one man's extraordinary journey through a lifetime of brushes with danger.

Beginning with his wartime childhood, the author recounts a series of "near misses" and hair-raising encounters that span decades and continents. Along the way, he faces criminal organisations, cultural clashes, and life-threatening situations from Stalin's shadow to Africa's most unsettling rituals, and even a visit to the infamous Thirty-Eighth Parallel in North Korea.

Yet this is not a tale of doom and dread. With warmth, humour, and an uncanny ability to laugh at himself, the author turns moments of peril into stories of resilience, absurdity, and survival. More than a collection of adventures, this book is an entertaining reflection on fear, history, and the human capacity to find laughter even in the darkest places.

Whether thrilling, bizarre, or laugh-out-loud funny, these true stories reveal a life fully lived and survived against the odds.
