From Library Journal
In 1984 Clarke ( The Last Caravan , Dirty Money ) set out on a three-year trip around the world along the equator. Since there are no direct land routes connecting all the towns on the equator, Clarke had to zigzag north and south to reach specific points. He traveled from South America east to Africa, Asia, and the equatorial Pacific islands, eventually returning to South America. Clarke describes the political, economic, and social conditions in the areas he visited. His colorful, vivid, and witty style brings the people and the places to life. A down-to-earth, compelling work that often shows the more gritty aspects of life. Literary Guild featured alternate. Kathleen Farago, Lakewood P.L., Ohio

From Publishers Weekly
According to PW , "From a three-year trip around the world, crisscrossing the equator over three continents, Clarke returned with tales and impressions to delight even the most jaded armchair traveler." He relives his adventures on overcrowded, polluted Pacific atolls, and in steaming jungles, primitive villages and teeming cities.
