To me, books and travel have always been very closely linked. I feel that when you read a book, you get to know that place. You understand, in some way, how it ticks.

Whether James Bond\\u2019s tracking Dr No to his desert island lair, Jason Bourne\\u2019s fighting for his life between the high-rise towers of Hong Kong, or Lin working for the Bombay mafia, there\\u2019s something about a great story that transports you across space and time.

Whist I love reading the works of travel writers, both modern and from generations past, there\\u2019s something about the pace of a novel that roots me to the page. It\\u2019s through the words connect me to the place \\u2013 even before stepping off the plane. Of course, I\\u2019ve nothing against the Kerouacs and Therouxs of this world \\u2013 but a good old-fashioned car chase, a punch up, on an explosion or two, never goes amiss.

In this podcast I share eight of my favourite fast-paced books, whose narratives drag you through the streets of cities all across the world. You\\u2019ll find classics that have stood the test of time, new stories from independent authors, and maybe a name or two you\\u2019ve heard me mention before.

Leo\\u2019s looking for the perfect place to propose to the love of his life. When they arrive in the Thai tropical paradise of Koh Tao, he thinks he\\u2019s found it. But before he gets an answer, she\\u2019s nowhere to be seen.
