Sting In The Khyber's Tail

The Sting in the Khyber's Tail, will be classified as a work of fiction, but this would only be partly true. Most of the adventures, that the three intrepid travellers became involved with, are based upon true events. Billy, Joe and Tom's journey took place in the late 1960s. At that time the driving conditions throughout the world were quite different from those that exist today. They make their way eastwards across Europe from France, as driving conditions deteriorate. They continue through Iraq and Afghanistan as their worries change from unkept roads, to sadistic border officials to dealing with bandits. As their adventures continue, Tom and Joe find ways to keep Billy's volatile character in check and join heads to find their own secret techniques to avoid bandits. Much of the story concerns each character's development throughout the long journey. The two youths mature rapidly, but Tom becomes a completely different man.
