Risk lurks on every journey, and the 28 churning stories in Danger! True Stories of Trouble and Survival begin when peril lifts its head, fixes its gaze, and strikes. For this suspense-packed anthology, Traveler's Tales' editors have selected the likes of Bill Buford, Sebastian Junger, Janine Jones, Andrew Todhunter, Peter Maas, and others to write of wrecked villages, rot, injury, ghettos, and glaciers. This is some of the finest writing of its kind, as each story reveals the depths of capacity and incapacity, tolerance, and the struggle to keep a level head.

Just reading the contents tells what's in store: "Ditching at Sea," "Python!" "Just Desert," "Capital of Chaos," "Buried..." Likewise, the tone of this book is evident on every skillfully crafted page. From "Chimney Rock" by Peter Potterfield: "My left arm hung at a bizarre angle. My left leg was twisted outward and throbbing." From "Baja Bites Back" by Graham Mackintosh: "I began psyching myself up to use the Radio Distress Beacon. Would anyone pick it up?" From "Hyena" by Joanna Greenfield: "No sterilization? Who cares? I was alive." From "The Killing of the Catsiburere" by Leonard Clark: "The closest savages drew back their right arms, but did not throw their saw-edged spears...."

A book to be encountered in small doses, Danger! is an armchair guide to pain, suffering, and anguish. A thrilling read from the comfort of a well-heated home. --Byron Ricks
