'When I heard Brett had fallen overboard, after twelve hours I said, "There's no way anyone can survive longer than that in the ocean - I certainly couldn't do it." This is an incredible, incredible story.' Oscar Chalupsky, Twelve times Molokai Paddleboard World Champion In April 2013, fifty-year-old Brett Archibald was on board a surf-charter boat, making a night-time crossing of the Mentawai Strait off Sumatra, Indonesia. In the middle of a storm, ill with severe food poisoning, Brett was being sick overboard when, for a moment, he blacked out. When he came to, he found himself alone in the raging sea, being spun as if in a washing machine. Sixty miles from shore, Brett saw the lights of his boat disappearing into the darkness. It was very quickly clear that no one had seen him fall, and that no one would hear his shouts for help. He was alone in the ocean. It would be eight hours before his friends realised he was missing. At that point a frantic search began, for a single man hopefully still alive somewhere in thousands of square miles of heaving waves. The Mentawai Strait is remote and the rough weather meant that no planes or helicopters could assist in the search. This is the remarkable story of Brett's ordeal, and his miraculous rescue after twenty-eight hours alone in the ocean; also of his family and friends back home and around the world and the Australian skipper whose sheer doggedness and instinct played such a key role in saving Brett.

Crocker in Braddock's March, his impeccably researched account of an important but largely forgotten chapter in American history...It all adds up to a stirring tale."--Washington Times In 1755, Major General Edward Braddock was sent by Great Britain on a mission to drive France from the New World. Accompanied by the largest expeditionary force ever sent to North America, Braddock planned to seize Fort Duquesne and then march north to Canada. Braddock was joined on the expedition by George Washington and others who would later play roles in the future revolution, including Horatio Gates, Thomas Gage, and Charles Lee; among those driving the wagons were Daniel Boone and Daniel Morgan. Less than a day's march from Fort Duquesne, Braddock's exhausted column was annihilated by a combined French and Indian force. Braddock himself fell mortally wounded, while George Washington miraculously escaped harm. With this battle, North America was drawn into a global war between Britain and France. In Braddock's March: How the Man Sent to Seize a Continent Changed American History, Thomas E. Crocker uses a wealth of sources to tell the story of one of the most important events in the American colonial period.

Attached to each victim is a letter insulting the English. The group is attacked by poor Indian men during their investigation but are helped by the Indian Prince Soma and his butler Agni, who are searching for Soma's servant Meena, who was taken away by a British man. Although Agni is human as a fighter he's on a par with Sebastian but he rejects such compliments however, saying that he once had power and wealth, which he abused until he was to be hanged. He was saved by Soma, who gave him a new life and name and who Agni now views as a god. Agni leaves the manor at night and the group including Soma, follow him to Lord West's home. When he hears Meena mentioned, Soma quickly reveals the group's presence. Agni refuses to obey Soma's orders but begins to act on West's order to beat Soma. A disguised Sebastian saves Soma and the group escapes to the manor. Features Summary This butler is just too good to be true... Or maybe he's just too good to be human...

Slight wear to cover edges Binding: Softcover Pages: 58 Dimensions: 23.8 x 17 x 0.4 cm +++ by Bill Nasson +++ The term 'Anglo-Boer War' emphasises the perception that it was a 'white man's war', but ignores the fact of a great deal of involvement by African, Coloured and Indian people in the conflict. This perceptive book examines the actual role of Africans, Coloured and Indian people in the military structures of both sides of the Anglo-Boer War and the effect on their civilian populations.

Miss Quested, on a visit from England to the man she expected to marry, showed an interest in Indian ways of life, which was frowned upon by the sun-baked British community.  And the prejudice which most of them felt and expressed against any social contact between the British and the Indians appeared, at first, to be justified when she returned, alone and distressed, from an excursion to the caves in the company of a young Indian doctor.  He was arrested on a charge of attempted assault, but when the case came to trial, Miss Quested withdrew her accusations and the doctor was set free.  Was she a victim of an hallucination, a complex, an unidentified intruder, or what?

The first glimpse of the sea on Marine Drive filled my heart, if not my head. I turned away from the red shadow. I stopped thinking of that pyramid of killers, and Sanjay's improvidence. I stopped thinking about my own part in the madness. And I rode, with my friends, into the end of everything. Shantaram introduced millions of readers to a cast of unforgettable characters through Lin, an Australian fugitive, working as a passport forger for a branch of the Bombay mafia. In The Mountain Shadow, the long-awaited sequel, Lin must find his way in a Bombay run by a different generation of mafia dons, playing by a different set of rules. It has been two years since the events in Shantaram, and since Lin lost two people he had come to love: his father figure, Khaderbhai, and his soul mate, Karla, married to a handsome Indian media tycoon. Lin returns from a smuggling trip to a city that seems to have changed too much, too soon. Many of his old friends are long gone, the new mafia leadership has become entangled in increasingly violent and dangerous intrigues, and a fabled holy man challenges everything that Lin thought he'd learned about love and life. But Lin can't leave the Island City: Karla, and a fatal promise, won't let him go. Format:Paperback Pages:880

Paperback. English. Penguin. 1980. In fair/used condition. Set in an unnamed African country, the book is narrated by Salim, a young man from an Indian family of traders long resident on the coast. He believes The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it. So he has taken the initiative; left the coast; acquired his own shop in a small, growing city in the continent¿s remote interior and is selling sundries ¿ little more than this and that, really ¿ to the natives. This spot, this ¿bend in the river¿, is a microcosm of post-colonial Africa at the time of Independence: a scene of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation and poverty. And from this rich landscape emerges one of the author¿s most potent works ¿ a truly moving story of historical upheaval and social breakdown.

 Hardcover / Good condition Wilbur Smith's adventure tales are big, bold and unforgettable. In   SHOUT AT THE DEVIL, the   New York Times   bestselling master storyteller takes us to a brutal paradise engulfed in the fires of civilization's war.   They couldn't be any more different: an earnest young Englishman named Sebastian Oldsmith and an Irish American adventurer named Flynn O'Flynn who never encounters a rule he doesn't break. Fate brings them together in Zanzibar. A sadistic German turns them into allies, then into warriors. From the sound and sight of a charging bull elephant to ships ablaze on the Indian Ocean, this is a full throttle saga of survival—against nature, man, and the devil himself.  

 In 1992 an Indian climber was left to die alone high on the South Col of Mount Everest by other climbers who watched his feebly waving hand from the security of their tent thirty yards away.  Why did these onlookers not hold the dying man's hand and comfort him?  The answer  appalls Joe Simpson, who was himself left for dead in a crevasse in Peru in 1985. "I shall never forget the horror of dying alone - the awful empty loneliness of it." Now that Everest has become the playground of the rich, where commercial operators offer guided tours to the top up fixed ropes, camping amidst the detritus and unburied corpses of previous less fortunate climbers, Simpson wonders if the noble, caring instincts that once characterised mountaineering have been irrevocably displaced - as in other facets of society.  In this exciting and challenging book, he explores anecdotally and in conversations with other mountaineers, the moral climate of mountaineering in the 1990s. Soft cover, fair condition.  The cover is creased and scuffed in places.  The book shows definite signs of wear, but it's a fascinating read.  207 pages.
