John Grant RossNew Zealander John Ross has spent most of the past thirty years living in and writing about Asia. His extensive travels - undertaken alone and far off the beaten track - include exploration in Papua New Guinea, dispatches from the Karen insurgency inBurma, and searches in the Gobi Desert and Altai Mountains on the trail of an ancient Mongolian myth.
