Look Out, Harrison Ford—Meet The Real-Life Indiana Jones

Twenty-seven years have passed since Raiders of the Lost Ark made its cinematic debut, and Harrison Ford is back at it again, playing the adventurous Indiana Jones in the third follow-up to the 1980s hit. But compared to the adventures Gary Garner’s had, the hunt for the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull seems like a piece of cake.

In reality, it is unlikely that a man could endure the emotional and physical pain that Indiana Jones did in these movies. But recently, there’s been a modern man who comes close.

Gary Garner, a vagabond for the twenty-first century and author of the new book Through the Eyes of Madness, has traveled the highs and lows of the planet—not in search of treasure, but to leave behind physical clues and codes that will set his readers on a global hunt.

Each chapter of the book is richly detailed with real life-and-death adventures. Garner continually put himself in situations that were seemingly un-survivable.

Through the Eyes of Madness has an intriguing twist: Mr. Garner has a mysterious surprise waiting for anyone who can decipher the encrypted codes in his journal, which can be found on his Website, www.ThroughtheEyesofMadness.com. Once decoded, they point to physical clues the author has planted across the globe.

“These past few years have been so fantastical and life-altering that even I have trouble believing it,” admits Garner. “But that’s why I kept the journals and constructed the book in the way that I did. Now, others can share in the adventure!”

To learn more about the breakout book critics are hailing as “the most ingenious and intriguing adventure book ever written,” visit www.ThroughtheEyesofMadness.com, or preview a video interview with the author at http://www.ThroughtheEyesofMadness.com/Videos.htm.
