A young boy lies bleeding on a remote Mexican highway. A group of bicycle tourists beg passing motorists for assistance. Bystanders draw away in fear: "You never know who might be watching."

So begins The Guest, the story of a year-long cycling journey from Canada to El Salvador. Armed with a young man's ego, a fluent command of Spanish and an ambitious plan to ride his bike to Patagonia, Australian Quinten Dol answers the call of adventure and makes the road his home. He survives run-ins with religious fanatics, murderous semi-trailers and the U.S. Border Patrol, crossing 8,000 miles of high deserts, craggy mountains and steaming jungles under his own pedal power.

But it is the people Quinten encounters -- a vast and colorful cast that includes his best friend, Hualapai elders, migrant laborers, Zapotec matriarchs, scruffy fellow cyclists and a new love -- who teach him what it truly means to be an adventurer and a human in the modern age.

Spanning vast swaths of the United States, Mexico and Central America, The Guest is a love letter to bicycle touring, a cross-continental road trip at 10 miles per hour. For any traveler who loves the backroads and in-between places of the world, this book is for you.
