Has anyone read this book?
I'm tempted to order it, but it seems like it's never coming around to that.

Is this about a SS Para who walked all the way from the eastern bit of Siberia? Bering Straits? All the way to Teheran, after realising that working himself to death in a lead mine was not a serious prospect for longevity? His daring escape from the mine, his many adventures with diamond smugglers, fur traders etc etc over a four year escapade which makes Chris Ryans` trek look like the walk across the car park in Sainsburys`?
Naw mate, never f@#k ing heard of it.
Top story and so believeable, go out now and steal a copy
