Truck Fever

More about the book

A young man travels overland from London to Nairobi in a truck with a group of squabbling, treacherous cast-offs from Thatcher's Britain, including privately educated schoolgirls, a predatory market gardener, a former torturer from the British Army, a locksmith claiming to be a UFO abductee, three conniving nurses and a prim quantity surveyor. A non-stop rollercoaster ride of adventure, anecdote and fresh observations about the nature of Africa and what it means to be passing through.
