In 1972, I traveled overland from London to New Delhi armed with little more than my journal and an unfettered curiosity about the world. Weary of academics without experience, I set out to cross borders of many kinds. 45 years and 45 countries later, my field notes provide the framework for THREADBARE TALES FROM SILK ROAD.
Where Tour Buses Won’t Go is the natural sequel to James Anderson’s first book, Threadbare Tales from Silk Road. Twenty-eight years after his first extreme travel adventure, James returns to India and continues his signature-style, cultural investigation as ‘The Other’.
The Oath blends historical fiction and magical realism in this collection of wondrous tales. One hundred off-beat illustrations populate this book, and the brief stories link characters from many walks of life, all leading to a global manhunt and the enduring search for human dignity.
A real "boots on the ground" travelogue that kept me turning pages and neglecting my chores. The narrative is full of memorable characters, broke down buses, rat-infested hostels, dysentery, wandering sadhus, and tight situations that take place in three of the more dangerous countries in the world.

You will laugh and cry, and you will be astounded by the author's wild (and sometimes near-death) adventures in Europe, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, and India. He witnesses the religious tensions and the political upheavals, as well as the inequities and struggles.

I travel in a world without benefit of bottled water and hand-held devices. My extreme travels bring me face-to-face with people soldiering on under the most humbling and challenging of conditions.
Along the way, I’m held at gunpoint in Pakistan, share a cave with a holy man in India, lift the curtain on a spiritual leader, and wade knee-deep in the Ganges River. During a short window of opportunity between war and rebellion, my book chronicles life along the Silk Road.This book is illustrated with my own period photographs and recent drawings.
This book serves as your ticket to ride along with the author. Be abducted at the airport, witness back-alley intrigue, and experience the colorful pageantry of India at festival time. Trek through tiger country in the Himalayas of beautiful Kashmir, then leave in a broken-down bus. Rumble along in trains, tuk-tuks, and rickshaws.
Be a guest of the poorest and sit down with the powerful. Share fragrant foods and sweet tea.
Behave yourself at military checkpoints. Mix with street people. Enter ancient temples at daybreak.
This ticket you hold allows you to venture forth where tourists most definitely would not go.
Ride along to the lyrics of Dylan and other minstrels - from the ancient Isle of Man in the Known World to the depression-era Texas panhandle in the New World. As the action moves through time, join our cast of characters as they board a pirate ship or hop a freight train; get down to their last red cent or hitch a ride across a desert. Unravel multiple mysteries along the way in this time-travel journey of heart and mind.
