This is a dark, raw and uncompromising tale of the human condition
in extremis, drawing on the many lives of Ben Timberlake: as an
archaeologist, Special Forces soldier, combat medic and drug
addict. Starting with Ben's first near-death experience--in a
Nazi-themed bar in wartime Yugoslavia--High Risk is a whirlwind
tour of everything from service in the SAS, combat in Iraq, and
encounters with a gambling-obsessed 9/11 hijacker, to veterans
blissed out on MDMA, hook-ups in the world of extreme sex, and
battling a heroin habit on a remote Scottish island. Ben pursued
the rush, and the chase often took him over the edge. Instead of
asking why, he asked, why not? Blending confessional narrative,
classic reportage and acerbic humour, this memoir takes a gonzo
look at terrorists, junkies, soldiers and strippers, through the
tale of one extraordinary life.
