He has been in 19 of the epic Coast to Coast races in a row, and he has won nine of them. He has represented New Zealand twice at the World Mountain Bike champs and has spent a lot of time adventure racing in far-flung jungles, caves, mountains and deserts.

It's aimed at business/sports people wanting to know the keys to success, people interested in mental health issues, people who want to be inspired and to get motivated and driven people who want to understand themselves better. 'Have really enjoyed the read. A number of my training mates are also reading it, and it has created quite a lot of discussion while running/cycling and over coffees/beers. We have definitely picked up some training tips and also probably made us reflect on why we do this type of sport....personally I think his honesty makes it a book well beyond multisport.' - Matt Cowie, Weekend Warrior

Book excerpt: Psychologist Serena Sheridan has come back to the small Louisiana town where she’d been raised—and where her grandfather has suddenly gone missing. Successful, ambitious, beautiful, Serena always found the darker world of the bayous far less predictable—and far more treacherous—than the life she’d chosen. And for help, she must turn to a man as mysterious and dangerous as the backcountry itself: Lucky Doucet. He’s a man with a past littered with secrets best left concealed—the perfect guide to lead Serena into a world of dazzling seduction, sudden violence, and raw natural beauty. From the exotic French Quarter to the most remote bayou, they would follow a trail of corruption and betrayal to a showdown that would require they trust not only their own deepest instincts for survival—but each other.
