‘... hapless calamities [before leaving the UK] provide an excellent introduction to the book, helping to shape the reader’s perspective of two distinctly individual characters, one impulsive and seemingly care-free, and the other practical and somewhat thoughtful. The most prominent attribute of Mission Mongolia is this great sense of character which is skilfully woven into each and every aspect of the tale. The author has a natural flare for describing environments and encounters, allowing the reader to gain a sense of each country and engage fully with individual aspects of the journey ... Mission Mongolia is a story of two Englishmen bumbling their way through their great adventure. As the tale unfolds and develops, relationships grow and strengthen ... Not only does it provide insights regarding bureaucratic, cultural and environmental hurdles along the way, Mission Mongolia also enlightens the reader about the personal development , which must be embraced, whilst pursuing such a grand adventure. Humorous, descriptive, thought provoking and above all, enjoyable ... highly recommended.’
