The Last Snake Man is a roller-coaster ride into the extremes of nature as experienced by wildlife photographer and adrenaline junkie Austin J Stevens. A herpetologist of international standing, Stevens not only provides a fascinating insight into the world of dangerous reptiles and wild animals, but also a captivating history of his own diverse and dramatic life experiences. Whether on land mine duty for the South African army in Angola, entering the Guinness Book of Records for spending 107 days and nights locked in a cage with only 36 deadly snakes for company, or simply escaping the jaws of an angry komodo dragon, Stevens' adventures will have you both gripped with fear and yet also laughing at the bizarre nature of it all.
