Thom Wheeler Book order

Attending a wedding in Astrakhan, Thom decides to travel in the most obvious and straightforward way: by following the Volga river, from its source over 1,000 miles inland. 'The Way a River Went' is an unforgettable and (hopefully) unrepeatable adventure.

When Uncle Tony asks Thom and his old pal Jo to drive to Vladivostok for a job, the result is a classic caper across the former Soviet Union in a rusty old VW camper. Far off the tourist trail, they bear witness to the collapse of one nation and the birth of a new one during the free-for-all that was Russia in the nineties.
