Anyone know a website for the book One More Horizon?

The publisher web site is: http://www.castellatedpress.com/

I read this book and have a mixed review. The tale is an engrossing
story, well written and reads well. It is a rather amazing cycle
adventure. I have a lot of admiration for Scott Zamek for his
perserverence in face of repeated setbacks. He has gone through some
pretty hairy parts of the world. From that perspective, it is one of
the more entertaining cycle adventure books I've read.

On the other hand, for a few of the predicaments Scotts finds himself
in, I wonder if he could have done a bit more planning/research prior
to setting off. I am a big believer in a cycle touring spirit of
"taking things as the come", but also add to that planning of some big
parameters such as equipment, weather, visas, etc (and even then not
everything can be predicted). In any case, this is a good book to
read before setting off in an extended ride through the developing
world. It is also a fun adventure read.
