It is an historical novel and the events portrayed were not unusual in the life of a warrior of those times. The customs and traditions are accurate; the places where events took place are real places and to date still go by the same name the Waters of the Sanjan, translated literally, Inkariak-oo-Sanjan, means "The Waters of Sweehearts", and in fact is a place that lies to the North of the famous treeless undulating savannah known the world over as The Serengeti, and to the Masai as Sirinket.

"The author is perhaps one of the last lifelong European Tanzanian settlers, who possesses an intimate knowledge of the Masai. He has, since childhood mixed freely in friendship with both their children and the elders, and has had a unique opportunity to observe their way of life and customs." Geoffrey Cotterell , Tanzanian Affairs Waters of the Sanjan is an accurate and admirable historic record of my people, recording their way of life at another point in time, yet not so very long ago. And because not many truly authentic books have been written about us, it is, I think, a valuable record of a proud people that will enlighten the reader and allow him to glimpse another world. He may, perhaps, shudder at the horror of some of the more violent sections, but he will emerge the wiser for knowing and understanding a little of what our forefathers had to cope with , and what they suffered, not only at the hands of encroaching colonialism, but at the hand of nature; climatic disaster, diseases of man and beast and inter/intra tribal wars that were the norm and claimed with monotonous regularity the lives of many."

  After an honest explanation about how he became a travel addict, Malcolm describes how some iconic places and wonders of the world are reachable with a little planning. It’s basically an attempt to simplify what can be deemed as an intimidating task. You can then add them to your Bucket List. 
  The rest of the stories in this book cover experiences in Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Caribbean. Not one to shy away from a challenge or two, he visits distant locations to see spectacular architecture, surrounds himself with sharks at 50 feet underwater in Palau, camps in the Mongolian wilderness and then hangs out with the nomads, finds a spiritual encounter in an iconic palace in Tibet, ventures into areas of seediness and questionable merit, and then relaxes on a spectacular beach just to get away from it all. 
  In his quest to fulfill some lifetime ambitions, the added benefit is to become further educated about how the rest of the world works. 
  Malcolm shares his unique and wild experiences from around the world.  
  Be enlightened.
