Reviews and Comment from the first book:

"An Epic Adventure" - Benedict Allen


"An incredible journey of distance, strength and
determination" - Josie Dew


"...mesmerising story. [Humphreys] undertook the expedition to find out if he could write. Believe me, he can. And rather well, too. You can almost feel the sand being kicked up in your face as you turn the page... This book is a literary match to his physical achievement." - Geographical

"...if a lad from Yorkshire can overcome international terrorism, dysentery, a crushing Siberian winter and a month without showering... then there's not really any reason why we all can't. He may not have meant it, but Humphreys' engaging, sometimes brutal, sometimes comic style is above all a call to arms... documented with unflinching honesty. Humphreys conveys his loneliness, wanderlust, grit and despair in a manner reminiscent of the great tradition of British explorers. He may have spent many hours asking why the hell he was doing this; anyone reading his book may, in the great tradition of watching British explorers, be more curious as to whether this man was insane or not." - The Guardian

"Wonderful..." - Midweek, BBC Radio 4

"A compelling read" - Velovision

"Fascinating and well written" - Adventure Travel

"A peek into the incredible world of Alastair Humphreys"
- Sport magazine

"Wonderfully unpretentious and straightforward" - Atlantica
