When the intrepid adventurer Steve Adams wakes up in hospital, blind and barely able to move, he discovers a very different world.

He’s pictured on the front of his book, young and triumphant , having trekked the high snow-capped Canadian Rockies, and clearly remembers thinking, This is how I want my future kids to see me, one day. Three years after this photo, he was run over by a 12 and a half tonne truck in Kalgoorlie, and everything changed.

Early in the book, this loveable Aussie larrikin, takes us with him on a wild exuberant journey. He plunges us into a world of riotous excesses as he travels all over the globe, from the outback of Australia to smoking Sheesha in Tunisia, fearlessly in search of adventure.

“Monkey on the Wing” then tells of the extraordinary, surreal encounters he had during his three month coma after the accident, and of the almost supernatural near death insight that gives rise to the title of this book.

His survival, in the 14 years since, reveals how one man's capacity for joy, can turn every loss into a gain and we are left with the question, What makes this man survive, and even more, embrace and anticipate each new day?
