Life in the military... like you've never read before. At nineteen, filled with wanderlust and hormones, Dan Martin made the hilariously amazing decision to join the military to travel and meet girls. Three months later, with Desert Storm in full swing, he found himself surrounded by dudes with not much to do. What unfolded was a long, protracted series of adventures into the art of curing boredom. Told in a collection of vignettes, Operation Cure Boredom is a coming of age story in camouflage. From dodging alligators, to surfing the inside of a plane at 30,000 feet, to being taken hostage by a Frenchwoman, and sex education in church, this absurdist portrait of life in the military is both an iconic look at listlessness in wartime, and the whirlwind journey of a young man getting the adventure he didn’t know he needed.

WILL THE WORLD, AS WE KNOW IT, END IN OUR LIFETIME? 
That is to say, will some type of event or combined series of events economically, societally, governmentally or literally breaks down what we humans have come to know as our fragile little world, with its vulnerable technologies and antiquated systems and structures? Experts on all sides agree it's no longer a definitive 'no', not after 9/11 and Covid. Therefore, it's the intention of this book and the will of its author to show you what you need to do IF something were to occur. Spiritual prophecy and scientific predictions of natural disasters, viral pandemics, economic and governmental collapse, solar flares, failing electrical grids, climate change, peak oil, meteor impacts, WW3, all covered in this book, even alien invasion. It tells you how the government's preparing and why you should too. A complete self-help guide, not only for the end-times, but any crisis, local or global, which we seem to be having a lot as of lately. Written by a retired Aerospace Engineer, who left society and spent 8yrs off-grid 100% self-sufficient, completely cut off, not seeing or speaking with another person the entire time. Martin now travels the world providing relief to victims of natural and manmade crisis. He was actually 'boots on the ground' in places like Haiti after the earthquake and cholera outbreaks, New Orleans after Katrina, Japan for Fukushima, Detroit and Venezuela during their societal collapses and Mexico during the cartel wars. With 3 published books and over 100,000hrs in the field, Martin's widely considered one of the foremost experts on the topic. He knows firsthand the ins and outs of day-to-day life in environments when humanity is at its lowest and society stops providing for us. Martin possesses and is able to convey in, Apocalypse, and all his books, that on-site, eyewitness account, only imprinted on an individual by actually being there, seeing firsthand the trauma and chaos-induced behaviors, reactions and horrific chain of events that unfold during, and in the aftermath. Apocalypse provides eye-opening views of us at our worst, and his insight into future events, forecasted by experiencing the same ones (history repeats) are incredible, at least, life saving at best. It makes you wonder, "Is the end closer than you think? Are you prepared?" If 9/11, Covid or Katrina taught us anything it's, we won't see it coming and we won't be prepared!

'This is Dan Martin's long-awaited autobiography, full of 'the warmth, sharp insights and vivid colour of his 14-year career' Guardian Known, thanks to his racing style and attitude, for being one of road cycling's last romantics, Dan has always shied away from revealing too much about himself and his story. Now, having retired at the end of the 2021 season aged 35 and no longer bound by the constraints of the racing circuit, Dan feels the time is right to tell his story in the same forthright and honest manner that he rode his bike. This book reflects Dan's generous and outspoken spirit, his resilience to pain, crashes, bad luck and, finally, his acceptance of destiny. Each chapter's title has a sub-title based on a typical cyclist's fear: the fear of losing a race, the fear of retiring from the sport, the fear of mountains or downhills, the fear of doping and, ultimately, the fear of death. Dan also discusses every aspect of the professional cyclist's life - food, discipline, money, dreams, friendship and betrayal. Dan is unashamed when it comes to exposing these dark feelings, his weaknesses and how he tried to deal with them, his attitude exemplifying Mark Twain's quote: "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear". Written with his long-time friend and best-selling author Pierre Carrey, this is the story of a rider who never sought to conform to modern cycling's norms and someone who, in many ways, embodies an age in cycling which has long since disappeared. This is the celebration of a true cyclist's career, which will appeal to anyone who's embraced the weekend ride whilst dreaming of the mountains. '[Chased by Pandas] is not a conventional study of wins, losses and conquering mountains but overcoming the mental challenges of a sport into which he was seemingly born' The Times 'Records the brave and tough journey of 'one of road cycling's last romantics' Irish Independent 'Chronicles the former Irish road champion's journey through the ranks of professional cycling' Cycling Weekly
