When three friends - Paul, Johno and Leigh - clicked 'buy' on an iconic London cab, little did they know what they were letting themselves in for. Leaving the Big Smoke in their taxi bound for Sydney, the lads began a 43,000-mile trip that would take them off the beaten track to some of the most dangerous and deadly places on earth. By the time they arrived home, they would manage against all the odds to circumnavigate the globe and break two world records.
From altercations with the Iranian secret police to narrowly escaping the Taliban, the trio's adventure is filled with hair-raising escapades. Feel the fear, revel in the fun and meet some of the hundred passengers the taxi picked up along the way, as the authors take you on their action-packed journey.
Paul Archer has been on numerous expeditions and adventures since he was seventeen. He founded and runs the Daredevil Project, a company that organises mischievous task-based competitions.
Johno Ellison joined the Royal Air Force as a teenager and trained as a helicopter pilot. He left in his twenties to attend university and travel the world. He has since visited over eighty countries and now works as a freelance product designer.
