Adventure in the vastness of Africa and South America
'Sam Manicom’s dynamic third book transports you to Southern Africa, South and Central America in an action-packed three year voyage of discovery...a thought-provoking mix of scrapes and encounters with people which illuminate some moments of true darkness... acute observations on everything from human behaviour, to remote and stunning locations. Distant Suns grabs you, enthrals you and spits you out as a convert to the dream of overlanding these amazing continents.'
