When Two Lives Collide

In 1953, Major (Old Bob) Ferguson, a soldier recently blinded on duty in Kenya, relates his untold story to a ten-year-old village lad, Mike Gilbride. In 2012, Mike, his days fast closing in, is seeking final catharsis as he relates both their colourful tales to Teddy, his only grandson. Family lies, treason and death flourish. Eventually, their lives collide.

The colourful journey of Michael John Wilde mirrors many of the stories within this book: having experienced a host of adventures and occupations throughout the world. Michael John has now settled in London, where he spends his time writing stories, many recounted from his life experiences.
