It's a Mad, Mad World + Ishtar + Raiders of the Lost Ark = The ISIS Affair Meet the most unlikely outlaws - two backpacking curmudgeons. This crotchety Brit and ancient American may be the oldest backpackers in the world, but it doesn't stop them from finding trouble in spades.
Attempting to smuggle priceless world heritage antiquities to safety, they find themselves in the crosshairs of none other than ISIS.
The deadly militants' best-laid plans are thwarted by the hapless smugglers themselves in this "laugh out loud funny" adventure. If not for a Yazidi Joan of Arc, these aging gents may not survive at all.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy this black comedy and satire on religion and nationalism that puts the fun back in fundamentalism.

I really enjoyed this hilarious, wild, chaotic, laugh out loud funny satire. Two old men are chased by ISIS as they wander across Syria. If you need a break from these trying times, or just a good laugh, READ THIS BOOK!
