Description
Road Fever: A High-Speed Travelogue by Tim Cahill is a high-adrenaline travel memoir documenting an extreme road journey from the southern tip of South America in Tierra del Fuego to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska.
The book follows Cahill’s record-breaking attempt to drive the entire length of the Americas in just over twenty-three days, facing mechanical failures, harsh weather conditions, bureaucratic obstacles, and unpredictable encounters along the way. The narrative captures both the physical challenges of long-distance overland travel and the psychological strain of sustained high-speed movement across multiple countries and climates.
Blending humour, adventure writing, and reportage, Cahill reflects on endurance, risk-taking, and the motivations behind extreme travel. The result is a fast-paced, often comedic account of one of the most ambitious road journeys ever undertaken.
