{"product_id":"trek","title":"Trek","description":"It is 1955  Kenya. A group of four acquaintances set out to drive from Nairobi to London  via the Sahara desert  in a 8 horse-power Morris Traveller. Under the leadership of Alan Cooper  a down-on-his-luck farmer  the group was made up of a worldly field biologist who recorded the whole trip on her 8mm cine camera  a genteel school mistress of uncertain age in search of romance  and a 17-year-old boy whose mother had insisted that the trip would make a man of him. What united them was a desire for adventure. As they set off through Equatorial Africa the omens seemed against them. The Mau Mau uprising against British rule in Kenya was at its height and the days of colonial rule were ending. Their journey was to take them through an Africa that very soon would cease to exist. But it was the desert that turned their joyride into a nightmare. What began as an adventure ended as a desperate fight for life in the blazing sands of the Sahara. \"Trek\" brings this story to dramatic life and is a classic account of survival against the odds.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44884565327925,"sku":"ByrdShop_0552154598","price":227.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0552154598.jpg?v=1766746017","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/trek","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
