Orion's Cartwheel

Description

In the summer of 1980, a maverick young doctor gave it all up, to hitchhike around the world.

The first arc he carved with his thumb stopped a little red pickup that took him over the horizon. Like his mythical hunter companion, Orion, he was on a vision quest, propelled toward the dawn to have his sight restored.

This is the story of that five-year odyssey to discover his Destiny.

Re: Orion's Cartwheel (e-book)

Lawrence Winkler has done us all a favour by penning his travelling experiences. His prose is rich in the kind of detail that appeals to all the senses so that the reader has the feeling they are travelling with him. Full of well-researched and fascinating facts about the places, people, and cultures he encountered, and sometimes barely escaped! Winkler has you feeling proud to be a member of a race so benevolent and quirky, and then has you cringing when the shadow side of humanity shows itself. I am already jonesing for the next instalment to this thoroughly memorable adventure.
