But the man Boris Kester is the main character in every story. It sounds like a huge job to visit all countries in the world. So that turns out to be an understatement. He falls in love in Yemen, he is held captive in Iran on a military base and in South Africa he miraculously survives a car accident. In Gabon, it takes a struggle with a cop to get his passport back, and while trying to get a visa to Nauru, he is assaulted by a woman the size of a hippopotamus. In this book Boris Kester takes you along on his breathtaking travels, you get to look over the shoulder of a modern Jules Verne.
