Joshua T. Calvert has traveled the world--on foot, by Jeep, by bicycle, by motorcycle, and lots of other ways besides. As you might imagine, he's seen many things most people never see - including an Iranian prison cell, from the inside! In Kyrgyzstan, he fared slightly better, narrowly avoiding being kidnapped for ransom. Skydiver, scuba diver, martial artist, adventurer - his goal is to experience everything possible, and then make it real to you in his books. And he's made a good run of it so far: in the Philippines, he did police training on multiple types of firearms (despite being no fan of guns himself); dove in Asian waters among sharks and shipwrecks; and patrolled with Sumatran jungle rangers.

That's what defines Calvert's approach ...more

Quotes by Joshua T. Calvert  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When something is at its best, you should enjoy it as long as possible. If you are already thinking about the end, you bring the end into the now, how stupid is that? When something is beautiful, the wise person enjoys the moment as long as it lasts. When it’s over, it’s over, but I don’t end it prematurely to get ahead of the end. That’s like hanging myself early so I don’t have to die.”
