Synopsis

Sam Sheridan, a university graduate and former US Merchant Marine, always had a taste for adventure. So when he found himself in Australia, loaded with cash and intent on spending it all, he realised that he could finally indulge a long-treasured obsession of his: fighting. Driven by a desire to know what only a fighter can - about fear and violence, about the dark side of being a man - he began training with the best of the best. Within a year, he stepped through the ropes for a professional bout against a Japanese Karate champion.

About this title

Review:

"After reading Sam's book you'll be sweating like you were there with him, you might even have blood trickling out of your nose." -- Pat Miletich

"From childhood, we search out questions, curiously going places we're told not to, instinctively testing ourselves--perhaps walking across a thin beam above a construction site--as our heart goes fast then quiet. There is something in a man that demands to know what he can handle, and what he can't or won't. Sam Sheridan goes to find out--and he takes everyone with him." -- Teddy Atlas
