Upon first seeing its unforgiving rapids, 20-year-old traveler Mick O’Shea began dreaming of a solo expedition down the Mekong River, from its source in Tibet to the South China Sea. This exhilarating travel novel captures O’Shea’s extremely dangerous kayak adventure into the unknown through remote gorges, terrifying rapids, & deadly whirlpools, past floating headless bodies, looming dams & terrifying Chinese soldiers.

Always seeking adventure & adrenaline, this explorer was immediately attracted to the Mekong’s power as well as to its spiritual & cultural significance & exotic beauty. This extraordinary true story of one man’s wild ride down one of the fastest & most dangerous rivers in the world is a compelling read for armchair travelers, extreme-sports fans, environmentalists, & Southeast Asia enthusiasts.

Review:

"Mick O'Shea's book is a remarkable story of a great adventure that is, at the same time, a heartfelt plea for wider awareness of the challenges facing the Mekong River's delicate ecology." —Milton Osborne, author, The Mekong: Turbulent Past, Uncertain Future
