High Risk 5036905044219This is a dark, raw and uncompromising tale of the human condition in extremis, drawing on the many lives of Ben Timberlake: as an archaeologist, Special Forces soldier, combat medic and drug addict. Starting with Ben's first near death experience in a Nazi themed bar in wartime Yugoslavia High Risk is a whirlwind tour of everything from service in the SAS, combat in Iraq, and encounters with a gambling obsessed 9 11 hijacker, to veterans blissed out

and profiles dozens of key buildings and celebrated architects

and to explore a perspective not often depicted in YA fiction

broken - even melted in a clothes dryer and stuck to a sock

driven to enlist by a sense of patriotism and the thrill of adventure

to decide it's finally time to get married

and revenge

Excitement and imagination run wild as Naomi

Dit is waarom ek die Krok en Dil-reeks begin skryf het - ek wou 'n leesreeks skryf wat vir lesers - en ouers

where humour and kindness flourished amid grinding poverty and brutal racism

Although for many visitors the Kalahari evokes images of winter game drives in a vast desert of thirsty red sands

but it also brings headaches
