Part memoir and part travelogue, 'Messengers' recounts three years spent as a cycle courier in London after the author's return from a world record breaking around the world trip. Fresh from a world of deserts, oceans and human kindness Julian Sayarer goes about adjusting back to the hard indifference of a city amongst ever-rising skyscrappers and the turning waters of the Thames. From a bicycle view of the streets, 'Messengers' watches a merry-go-round of media sensation, consumerism and crony politics. Recounting a year of fear, insecurity and frustration on the breadline, 'Messengers' is a chronicle of the modern city at the start of the 21st century and the task of finding a place in it.
