Stephen McGown was en route from London to South Africa, on a once-in-a-lifetime trip by motorbike, returning home to Johannesburg. He had reached Timbuktu, in Mali, when he was captured, along with a Dutch and a Swedish national, by Al Qaeda Islamist militants. Steve was taken because he held a British passport. He was subsequently held hostage at various camps in the Sahara Desert in the north-west of Africa for nearly six years before eventually being released.

Stephen’s perspective on his experience is so brave and so unexpected.

The narrator was not good at all. I think it is a narrator’s duty to find out how to pronounce the words he is reading - basic words like “plover” and “auberge” were grossly and repeatedly mispronounced. Very irritating.
