Présentation de l'éditeur :
In April 2006 the news broke of an amazing feat of survival by a white man in one of the most inhospitable areas of Australia. Ricky Megee was found sheltering by a dam on a remote cattle property in the Northern Territory. After being abducted on the Buntine Highway, drugged, then left for dead, Ricky had walked for ten days in bare feet through unforgiving terrain in blistering heat. Stumbling upon a dam, he set up camp there and survived for almost three months on leeches, grasshoppers, frogs and plants, losing 60 kg in the process.In Left for Dead , Ricky Megee tells for the first time since his extraordinary rescue the full story of his abduction and survival, vividly and with candour. A gripping tale and a fascinating read, Left for Dead is both shocking and inspiring, the tale of how one man endured a terrible ordeal and lives to tell the tale.
Revue de presse :
Lost, hungry and thirsty, Megee finds himself drugged and abandoned in the middle of nowhere without footwear, provisions, water or any accurate notion of how or why he is there. This describes the struggle of the hard living, accident prone and itinerant lifestyle that leads up to his eventual predicament. Through his enervating encounters and emaciating experiences, fluctuating spirits and fortunes, Megee's true grit, dogged tenacity and character is summoned. He demonstrates fortitude and resilience,improvisation and ingenuity to counter despair, starvation, dehydration andagonising injuries. This is a detailed page-turner of the will to live that pulls no punches; honest and readable, vicarious and visceral. --Bookseller & Publisher, July 2008
