In 1989 the World Wide Web was invented. It was also the year of Tiananmen Square, the Hillsborough disaster, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the end of the Cold War. In the meantime, over in Africa, a further episode entered the annals of history when Sean McCarthy and Lee 'Shaggy' Walker became the first documented foreigners to attempt to paddle a native dugout down the Congo’s longest navigable stretch. The tale would become the stuff of Congolese legend. SEAN OF THE CONGO is McCarthy's much-heralded account of that unique voyage.

“An outrageously ambitious voyage” Wildlife Legend Nigel Marven.

“An inspirational page-turner” Olympic Champion Etienne Stott MBE.

“A completely brilliant adventure” Olympic Champion Tim Baillie MBE.

“Intense but amusing” BAFTA winner Christina Dodwell.

“Brilliantly written and gripping” BAFTA winner Geoff Thompson.

“Puts you right in there” Top Gear's The Original Stig.

“Zips along marvellously” Adventurer-author Benedict Allen.
