Nine Lives and Counting : Life on the edge - a true story
Overview
Nine lives, nine escapes, and a thousand stories later... one man looks back with laughter, grit, and sharp insight.
From post-war Scotland to refugee camps in Asia and warzones in the Middle East, Randalph Bland's story is a breathtaking ride through reckless youth, global misadventure, and moments where life and death hung in the balance.
Told in vivid, often hilarious detail - with flashes of righteous fury - this memoir follows a restless outsider who finds himself in the thick of civil wars, humanitarian disasters, and raw street life from Glasgow to Kathmandu.
Whether he's dodging bullets in Beirut or dodging chores in a Scottish council house, Randalph's eye for irony, his taste for trouble, and his refusal to conform make this memoir unforgettable.
Perfect for readers who love:
- True stories of chaotic, real-world adventure
- Near-death experiences told with bite and humour
- Outsider voices and anti-establishment memoirs
An unforgettable memoir for fans of Bill Bryson, Anthony Bourdain, or Michael Palin - but with more scars.
