Historia
Sam Manicom's dynamic fourth book is an enticing yet frequently challenging motorcycle journey across the dramatic landscapes of Mexico, the United States and Canada. Sam's partner Birgit is no longer a novice motorcyclist - riding through southern Africa and South America turned her into a rider capable of facing any challenge. But Sam was worried. As they arrived into North America they had been travelling around the world by motorcycle for six years and he was beginning to think that North America was going to be easy; too easy in fact.

Master Storyteller
Revisado: 06-26-17
Sam’s authentic storytelling style leads the reader on a rich expertly woven adventure journey. Sam has a unique way of helping the reader relate to foreign worlds through his words, an admirable gift. Through Sam’s courageous and curious approach to his travels, I have learnt to see the positive in the most challenging of circumstances. This master story teller has shared his adventures in a way that is real, sincere and most definitely makes you feel as if you are riding alongside him on the open road. I can almost smell the two-stroke oil as I immerse myself in Sam’s stories.
It was a treat to listen to the audio book read by Sam himself. His calm and quirky voice, showcased his sharp wit and excellent sense of humour.
As a motorcycle enthusiast and lover of adventure and travel, I have enjoyed each of Sam’s books immensely. I highly recommend that readers should start with Sam’s first book, Into Africa. I guarantee that you will not be able to resist reading all four of the legs and stories back to back.
In this, Sam’s latest book, I was particularly touched by the impassioned plea for all people to become organ donors. I have laughed, cried, smiled, shaken my head and been entertained through many long nights while insomnia kept me awake.
I know it will take a long time before I find another favourite author. To Sam I say Merci, Gracias, Dankie, Gratzie, Nkosi kakhulu and Thank you for sharing your stories with me and the world. Bravo my friend, bravo.

Brilliant story on so many levels. Thank-you for sharing this incredible tale of adventure, bikes, travel and life. As a fellow blind person as well as a biker, this book touched me on so many levels. I cried, I laughed, I loved and I lived. Awesome read and highly recommended. I hope that I one day get to shake Bernard's hand.

Historia
In Sam’s second book, Under Asian Skies, you'll find yourself immersed in an enchanting mix of drama, majesty, laughter, mystery, love, and his usual disasters. Sometimes a traveller's plans simply don't work out as intended, but for Sam every mishap is the beginning of a unique adventure; silver linings do exist. You'll travel on a journey across the vastness of Australia, through the twists and turns of New Zealand, and on up into the exotic lands of Southeast Asia.

Another brilliant book by this master storyteller. I enjoyed living the adventure as I listened to Sam read his book ‘Under Asian Skies’. Thank-you for sharing this great tale. Looking forward to listening to your next audiobook when it is done and enjoying the story of the next adventure in your life.

Kept me awake all night for a week!
Revisado: 07-04-15
Sam kept me up all night for a week while I listened to this incredible tale. His story is so well told that it reached all of my senses. I smelt, heard, tasted and felt Africa with him and was reminded of my own travels through this continent. Audio books can sometimes do little more than put you to sleep but this particular one read by Sam himself was mesmerising.
If you are interested in travel, adventure or simply good story telling, you will thoroughly enjoy this read. Thank you Sam for allowing us to share your world.
