There is nothing here of the 'I jumped over a puddle' aspect of
modern adventure stories. As an Englishman, Grant has far too much
of the mad dog in his character, and I am surprised indeed that he
survived his journey. This is a thoroughly enlivening book, the
rare kind that makes you want to sleep with a pistol under your
pillow. -- Jim Harrison, author of Returning to Earth
This is exactly the book you're hoping for when you pick it up: a
crazy, sprawling story so well-written, you can't decide whether to
keep reading or go to Mexico to see for yourself. Keep reading: You
have an extraordinary book in your hands. -- Sebastian Junger,
author of The Perfect Storm
