'I was lost in the desert. Without transport. Without water. Without a hope.'

Sam Fox is on a caving expedition in the desert when the roof collapses, trapping his brother Nathan beneath tonnes of rubble. Nathan is in a bad way, and Sam's his only hope. But when he reaches the cave exit, Sam discovers a sea of huge, angry scorpions! And that's just the first deadly obstacle he will have to face if he's to get his brother out alive . . .

An action-packed rollercoaster ride, Scorpion Sting is the fourth book in the Extreme Adventures series!

Reviews for Scorpion Sting: Extreme Adventures

Unique among books on the topic, [Opium Culture] takes a nativist view of the customs surrounding opium in China, dispersing the romance and propaganda that have clouded this most storied of vices. Opium is presented as herbal medicine whose alkaloids produce a hardy balance of effects that aren't stuporous, but stimulating.
