Going Mad in the Middle East Nicholas Walker

The fifth true travelogue in this best-selling series of the trouble prone eccentric who is not quite sane. Nick is back in Kuwait but he has left A'Takamul School and is working at the Ministry of Defence. He is still running his illegal dance club and upsetting the authorities with his campaigning on behalf of the Bedoon. True to form Nick's penchant for getting into trouble follows him around: he is kidnapped at gunpoint, banned from ever using Emirates Airlines again, dances with a princess, is nearly flattened by a bulldozer, has to hide in the desert and is forced to smuggle himself and the omnipresent Emad into Iraq. All these incidents have the seeds of fiction in them but they are amazingly true, but Nick's sardonic view of everything going on around him can bring humour to any situation. His relationships with the opposite sex once again lead to trouble but this time he meets a girl who is to become his wife and they run off to Bangkok to get married. The first in this exciting series: Going Around the Bend on the QE2. The second: Not Quite Sane in America. The third: Losing my Marbles in LA and the fourth: Going Crackers in Kuwait are all available on Amazon/Kindle.
