Into Trouble – hinnat ja saatavuus

Seeking adventure in 1969, avoiding the draft and running from his father, nineteen-year-old Paul Gorman sets off on what becomes a wild and terrifying solo hitchhiking trip to Europe. Eighteen hours later, he is a fugitive. After almost freezing to death in Germany, he heads south in search of sunny beaches and cheap prices, landing in possibly the most fascist country since WWII: Franco's Spain. He soon runs out of money and relies on several scams to get by before being arrested. Facing up to six years in notorious Prisi n de Barranco Seco, he becomes a pawn in political blackmail while struggling to survive in a dangerous environment infested with some of INTERPOL's worst criminals. Gorman's adventure is the riveting and occasionally humorous story of a teenager searching for adventure and his place in the world, and the transformation he undergoes. Along the lines of Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, Midnight Express by Billy Hayes, and Catch Me If You Can by Frank Abagnale, Gorman's gripping true tale is a page-turning stunner that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Too ashamed of his misdeeds, it took fifty years to recount his experiences. The result is a book that is "honest and authentic and, simply, an amazing story " Edited by Barbara Noe Kennedy, editor of the best seller, Bad Karma: The True Story of a Mexico Trip From Hell. Barbara spent 23 years as a senior editor of travel books at National Geographic. "Thrilling, suspenseful, intimately revealing, and elegantly creative and descriptive, it is a triumph. I await the screenplay " -- Nancy A Soule "Full of humor and self realization in the time of Franco and the Viet Nam war. I highly recommend this " -- Jan Hillman "A page turner Quite a good read " -- Donald D. "I normally read at night and it generally puts me to sleep, so the chapters have to be short . The chapters are short, but I couldn't put it down and read it in 3 nights. LOVE this book " -- Nancy Henry "An utterly engrossing travel account that doubles as a remarkable coming-of-age story... Fabulous... This is a stunner " -- The Prairies Book Review "Loved it Along the lines of "On the Road" and less depressing than "Into the Wild".

A personal journey set in a time of great upheaval, it's worth the trip. -- Reg Krake
