Review
"Randy White is a hell of a good writer, the real McCoy." -Jon Krakauer "A gentle humorist, Mr. White holds his own as a fine narrative writer." -Wall Street Journal "What fun it is to join White, dashing through the snow on a five-dog Iditarod sled in Alaska, on a frozen lake in Minnesota, on a combat jet dogfighting in the sky above Orlando, all vicariously but just about as vividly as if we were there." -Miami Sunday Herald "White's exuberance and his agility with language make his stories stunningly vivid... for armchair traveler and rugged adventurer alike, this is good, funny, invigotaring stuff." -Chicago Tribune"
Product Description
Whether he's engaging in mock aerial combat or riding an Iditarod sled, Randy Wayne White is one of America's most adventurous travelers. In this collection he studies anti-terrorist driving techniques, dives for golf balls in an alligator-infested pond, hunts his fellow man with a paint gun, ice-fishes for walleye with X-ray-stunned night-crawlers, and goes pig-shooting with Dr. Pavlov. With self-effacing optimism, White captures the joys and fears of wandering the earth's surface with an eclectic cast of fellow travelers: a frog that won't jump, a group of expatriate Brits who've developed an interesting cure for "road jaundice," and even a mad Australian scientist. Though he rarely finds what he's looking for - like the legendary landlocked bull sharks of Lake Nicaragua - he develops a Zen-like "passion for the means" and a rare ability to revel in the rib-aching humor of each exotic trip. In the end, White leaves the reader mesmerized by the potential of undiscovered places and the promise of adventure in unfamiliar territory, from Florida to Borneo and everywhere in between. A leader of the new breed of thick-skinned, high-endurance adventure travelers of the 1990s, Randy Wayne White uniquely extols the pleasures of being "alone and on the move."
