In April 2006 the news broke of an amazing feat of survival by a white man in one of the most inhospitable areas of Australia. Ricky Megee was found sheltering by a dam on a remote cattle property in the Northern Territory. After being abducted on the Buntine Highway, drugged, then left for dead, Ricky had walked for 10days in bare feet through unforgiving terrain in blistering heat. Stumbling upon a dam, he set up camp there and survived for almost three months on leeches, grasshoppers, frogs, and plants, losingmore than 130 poundsin the process. In "Left for Dead," Ricky Megee tells for the first time since his extraordinary rescue the full story of his abduction and survival, vividly and with candor. A gripping tale and a fascinating read, "Left for Dead" is both shocking and inspiring, the tale of how one man endured a terrible ordeal and lives to tell the tale."

Review:
Lost, hungry and thirsty, Megee finds himself drugged and abandoned in the middle of nowhere without footwear, provisions, water or any accurate notion of how or why he is there. This describes the struggle of the hard living, accident prone and itinerant lifestyle that leads up to his eventual predicament. Through his enervating encounters and emaciating experiences, fluctuating spirits and fortunes, Megee's true grit, dogged tenacity and character is summoned. He demonstrates fortitude and resilience,improvisation and ingenuity to counter despair, starvation, dehydration andagonising injuries. This is a detailed page-turner of the will to live that pulls no punches; honest and readable, vicarious and visceral. --Bookseller & Publisher, July 2008
About the Author:

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'No shoes, no vehicle, no food, no water and no idea. I'd always been one of those blokes who ragged on people who found themselves lost in the desert. Now I was one of those people. It was harsh, desolate country for a man all alone in bare feet. Nevertheless, I started to walk. And walk. The more I walked, I figured, the less distance I'd have to travel to get found. It was faulty logic, but it was the best I could come up with.'In April 2006 the news broke of an amazing feat of survival by a white man in one of the most inhospitable areas of Australia. Ricky Megee was found sheltering by a dam on a remote cattle property in the Northern Territory.After being abducted on the Buntine Highway then left for dead, Ricky had walked for ten days in bare feet through unforgiving terrain in blistering heat. Stumbling upon a dam, he set up camp there and survived for almost three months on leeches, grasshoppers, frogs and plants, losing 60 kilograms in the process.In Left for Dead, Ricky Megee gives a full and frank account of his abduction, survival and extraordinary rescue. Vividly told, it's a gripping and yet inspiring story of how one man endures a terrible ordeal and lives to tell the tale. Gripping and inspiring story of how one man endured almost three months alone in the desert living on nothing but insects and frogs. An extraordinary story of survival in the outback.
