Terry's Travels

'Orcland to the Ottomans' takes the reader on a riveting journey from New Zealand to Turkey. From the Southern Alps to the Red Centre of Australia, through Laos, the Philippines, then the Hermit Kingdom and along the Silk Road to the home of the Ottomans. It retraces the steps of traders, conquerors, adventurers and tourists alike and the soldiers of empires that are no more. 'His observations are eye-opening and reflective and you will look at the world differently having read them' says BookLover. There is a powerful and entertaining narrative that doesn't pull any punches, and gets to the heart of the countries and cultures visited. Life and existence is witnessed for what it is; hard-hitting and heart-wrenching, dramatic and damning. Terry's story is a tantalising and evocative experience of discovery and understanding. The book concludes with the horrors of Gallipoli and the War to end all Wars, the nature of war, of human struggle and remembrance. It is the first volume of the series 'Terry's Travels'.
