(Book 1 of the Shots from the Hip Duology) This is the long-awaited memoir of Daniel Reid, world-renowned expert on consciousness, holistic medicine and living life to the full. Unbound by convention and driven by a quest for new experiences on roads less-traveled, Dan takes us through the sex, drugs and rock & roll scene of Late Sixties America to the opium dens, bars and bordellos of far-flung Asian outposts, recounting his outlandish escapades in a rollicking narrative told with flair and candor.
