About the Book

David Laurence was born the son of a British diplomat and as such he enjoyed the high life on various overseas postings during his early years. Having spent the first 13 years of his life living in various British Embassies around the world, protected by diplomatic immunity, the world was supposed to be his oyster

Having successfully passed his common entrance exam into one of the most respected schools in the country at 13 years of age, by 24 he found himself within the confines of the violent and often drug infested world of the British penal system, rubbing shoulders with some of the most notorious figures in the London underworld.

Fifteen years later he was to face the ultimate legal nightmare. This time caught between the defense and prosecution where he had to fight not only for his own future but also that of his children, in a case that was to set a legal precedent.

What follows is a harrowing insight into one man's personal voyage of discovery, in order to gain custody and control over his 2 beloved children. We follow the journey from it's origins in East Africa through the jungles of South America and onto the deserts of Saudi Arabia, before fi nally arriving at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand/London - where personal triumph would mean eternal happiness..... but failure would mean the ultimate sacrifice.

About the Author

David Laurence is now a successful business man, although he continues his writing as he draws such satisfaction from the solitude it brings. "I've had a desire to write from the age of about 14," he says, "and I see no reason to stop now, for me personally I'm currently living a dream, nothing brings me more satisfaction than seeing my work in print".

He is currently working on a second book that he hopes to release sometime towards the end of 2006.
