Produktbeschreibung
This is a fascinating collection of vignettes drawn from the author's family, youth, career, and travel. Paul Bennett provides readers with his unique perspective on his grandfather's tragic death in WWI, Canada's 1970 October Crisis, and the joys of an adolescent summer picking mushrooms in the French Pyrenées. The author recalls interviewing Cambodian refugees after the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime, and blissfully drinking coffee by the shores of Ethiopia's placid Lake Langano. Learn how close he came to personal disaster during the catastrophic 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and of a surreal trip to the bizarre Hermit Kingdom of North Korea. This book will appeal to anyone with an appreciation of the diversity of life's experiences and those willing to take a chance.
Autorenporträt
Paul Bennett was born in Cockney London (of which he is fluent!) and went to Exeter University to study Economics. He spent eight years in advertising before setting up a market research agency. He built that up and sold it after five years which gave him the luxury of spending time on writing. He has had ten novels published - six in the Nick Shannon thriller series, four in the Johnny Silver thriller series and one standalone thriller. In his spare time he is teaching himself the guitar (and now plays badly) and playing bridge, where he is a Premier Tournament Master.
