<i>'God made Colombia the most beautiful country in the world so he had to balance it by inhabiting it with the worst people in the world.' – </i>Old Colombian proverb
In 2001, Australian writer Austin Galt arrived in Colombia looking for high adventure. He found it – or did it find him? On Austin's first day in the country he was hauled off a bus, looking down the barrel of a machine gun as he was detained and questioned by the M16-toting Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Welcome to Colombia! In the days, months and years that followed Austin travelled all over Colombia, following the Narcos' trail and walking in the shadows of drug lords such as Pablo Escobar, while meeting local gangsters and international coke traffickers, attending underworld parties and being groomed as a drug mule and a mafia kingpin. What he discovered shocked, scared and, ultimately, seduced him.
