Pecked to Death by Ducks - Couverture souple

Tim Cahill has no notion of 'going to extremes'. It's just what he does naturally.

He learns many valuable life lessons along the way: how to drink with the Aussies (trying to match them beer for beer is not a good idea); a method for developing acute claustrophobia (crawling on your belly for two weeks in total darkness while exploring the world's deepest cave); and the best way to take a nap while observing a grizzly bear at close range. He also finds time to assist the English police with their enquiries, after his fleeting involvement with the Dangerous Sports Club.
With great wit and excitement, Pecked to Death by Ducks delivers vicarious thrills so vivid you'll feel like you're there - but be glad that you're not.

His thirst for the most bizarre, challenging and downright weird stories from all corners of the planet has given us another remarkable collection of hilarious journeys.

Tim Cahill sleeps with grizzly bears. He also treks with llamas, inches his way through the deepest cave in America, and assesses the cuteness quotient of giant clams in the South Pacific - all in the service of some of the most lively, nerve-wracking, and outrageous travel writing of our time.

From the wastes of Antarctica to the blazing oil fields of Kuwait, and from an evening of demonic possession in Bali to a session on Guatemala's Throne of Terror, PECKED TO DEATH BY DUCKS is a grand tour of the earth's remote, exotic, and dismal places, conducted with irresistible aplomb by a master of high (and low) adventure.
