Perils! (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781466973190)

PERILS! is actually two books in one. One book is a collection of close calls and scary stories that actually happened to two adventuresome author-travelers. Danger lurked on the river behind the Taj Mahal! A knife-bearing Sikh came to the rescue. Catching a subway train was almost fatal during a monsoon in Japan. The intrepid couple caught a late-night jetliner, which broke in two as it landed. Seven additional stories about surprising adventures and close calls make for an exciting read! The second book is a manual for survival and management of serious, emergency problems during travel or at home, such as fainting, choking, and chest pain-written by one of the authors (JF) who happens, also, to be a cardiologist. The authors suggest a new, intriguing word, anticimoxie. Following its precepts, the reader will think ahead and will be more likely to arrive safe at home-to tell more scary stories!
