Man mission 10 was my favorite because seeing the African animals in the wild has always been a dream of mine. I too, like mission 14 because that seems to be when life was being put together by Ethyan.

My favorite was the Man Mission in Iceland. I shared the main character's excitement about seeing the Northern Lights.
The strongest impetus a man will ever have, in an individual sense, will come from a woman he admires.

Chasing the Northern lights is my favorite as well as I could see myself doing the same thing later in life.

Definitely the one where they met the drug dealers. It was so unexpected for me to see the main character in an awkward situation and came out safe and sound.

I liked Otter Trail and Kruger National Park, South Africa Man mission the most. I liked the way the author explained about animals and nature of the place. The elephant, lion and leopard scene were so well explained. Because of the novel, I want to visit that place.

I liked the one to Tokyo Japan. The technological advances in Japan was amazing! Furthermore, I'm a huge fan of cycling and the way they explored the land was just adorable!

I liked this too, mostly because I'm in Africa. I could relate to every event at these Nation parks. How amazing the wildlife is!

Although I don't see myself chasing them ever in my life, this experience was really nice. The author described it in such a mouth watering manner that I found myself longing for it.

I read about this, but maybe I couldn't share the same excitement because I didn't really figure out the appearance of these Nothern Lights. I'm glad you enjoyed that bit anyway.

I liked mission 10 too. The wildlife in the south African game parks was awesome! The lion, elephants etc. We share this .

I liked the Japan trip too, though I enjoyed most the bit about cycling and exploring the land. The technology was amazing too.

LeDiplomatique wrote: 02 Jan 2020, 01:28 I enjoyed most the Harpers Pass Trail expedition. When the duo perceived a possible attack, the weapons they picked were amusing. When the author described the eyes surrounding them, wolves came to my mind. I was amused when I realized the terror was caused by mere cows. The author's style of narration of the scene made it more hilarious.
I was planning on reading the book later but your incident has made me more curious to read the book early. I like when the author adds humor along with the story.
Me too. I was just scanning through here before starting the book and now I'm legit excited to get into it.
The book is not a disappointment. If you like adventures and reading adventure novels, this is definitely your book! Good luck reading.

Just like you, I liked this mission 10. The south African game parks were awesome, filled with several world animals, including the lion!

Walking half a mile is challenging for me, not to mention very slow. I'm not sure which was my favorite although I did find the cow incident the most amusing. I have always wanted to see the Northern Lights, but I would not want to eat puffin burgers.
Too bad you have a health problem. Quick recovery. I agree with you that the cow incident was funny, they thought they were some dangerous animals. I'm super curious about the Nothern Lights too.

I also loved to see Daniel laughing after that long moment of sadness. The Asians we're hilarious!
