His journey includes living the high-life as the proceeds of the drug trade enable him and his partners, to live a life of luxury and excess. Unfortunately for the traffickers, the odds are that one eventually gets caught and when this occurs, the entire operation is compromised. Whilst other members of his syndicate are caught and serve time, the author continues his life on-the-run. His time eventually surfaces and is caught whilst living a simple life many years later.

The outrageously entertaining memoir of one of the world's most enterprising and successful dope smugglers.'I thought I was the biggest dope smuggler. I wasn't. He was' Howard Marks On 29 June 1988 Michael Forwell (aka The Fox) had it all - fast cars and speedboats, a nightclub in Bangkok, homes around the world. And a ship heading towards California carrying 72 tons of high-grade Thai marijuana, his last deal before going straight. On 30 June the DEA seized the ship in the biggest dope bust in history . . . and very soon Michael had nothing at all. A mild-mannered, public school educated Englishman who abhors violence, Michael was not the most likely drug smuggler but he was certainly one of the most successful. Now he shares his astonishing adventures as he found ever more inventive ways to smuggle dope from South-East Asia to the US. By the eighties Michael was juggling aliases, dodging the authorities and making millions of dollars. Until that final deal, too good to pass by, went horribly wrong and he was forced to go on the lam. Fast-paced and funny, Blowback takes us on an adrenalin-charged journey with a charming rogue, revealing the fun he had and the price he ultimately paid.
