In YOU’RE WHERE NOW? fantasy author, S. P. Muir relates a collection of amusing and sometime tragic anecdotes from his years as a London despatch rider.

Long before the days of emails, the internet, or mobile phones, London was awash with hundreds – if not thousands – of motorcycle messengers. A breed apart and loathed by many, these unsung heroes were the lifeblood of London’s economy. Whether high finance, graphic design or the newspaper industry, without these hardy – and some would say suicidal – knights of the road, all would have ground to a halt.

S. P. Muir gives an intriguing and humorous insight into what it was like to work within this brotherhood of economically essential outlaws.
