Description: "This book will appeal to those who know much or a little or nothing about the relatively young outdoor sport of adventure racing. It examines the nature of adventure, risk and responsibility through a tragic story which is sensitively and subtly told from both personal and political perspectives. It combines a smooth and effortless narrative and strong characterisation underpinned by a gripping documentary style which is both accessible and engaging." --TBC website.
