Drowning in the Ganges

A Short Travel Read

De: Vincent Zandri

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author/adventurer Vincent Zandri recently made his way from Kathmandu to New Delhi by boat, train, tuck-tuck, bus, bicycle, rickshaw, 4X4, and on foot. He also spent some time exploring the Upper Ganges where he decided that taking a swim in the holiest river in the world would be one heck of a bucket-list item to check off. What he didn't realize at the time is that the little swim would nearly cost him his life. PRAISE FOR VINCENT ZANDRI NOVELS: "The action never wanes." --Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinal "Gritty, fast-paced, lyrical and haunting." --Harlan Coben, bestselling author of Six Years "(THE INNOCENT is) tough, stylish, heartbreaking." --Don Winslow, bestselling author of Savages "Non-stop action." --I Love a Mystery "Vincent Zandri nails reader's attention." --Boston Herald "(Zandri) demonstrates an uncanny knack for exposition, introducing new characters and narrative possibilities with the confidence of an old pro...Zandri does a superb job interlocking puzzle pieces." --The San Diego Union-Tribune "Zandri has brought back that wonderful ‘quest’ story that keeps the reader alert and pinging with anticipation from beginning to end. His ‘Chase Baker’ character is cocky, smart, and multi-talented, but with that brotherly quality that reminds you of a best friend in school. These are the types of characters we remember and follow, and Zandri does them with flair, along with non-stop action and a surprise ending. What thriller reader could not love that? ... THE SHROUD KEY is well worth every minute." -- SUSPENSE MAGAZINE

Well written travel experience.

Listening to Drowning in the Ganges today took me back to an experience I had some 50 years ago of swimming in the Mississippi river. Vincent Zandri’s descriptions in this story made me feel like I was on that boat with him and the ladies traveling up the Ganges to the clean water away from the pollution of the cities. Of course, what evoked my memory was his description of the swim across the river through deep water. I’d love to read or listen to more travel shorts from Mr. Zandri.
