What started out as a small cult following on the backpacker scene with the Raven brothers first book 'Living the Linger', about a hilarious and profound road trip across the USA in a brown van called Hank, has since seen the Linger series explode in popularity. This week’s announcement by Amazon.com of the release of the Linger series in the USA is promising news for the two brothers from London, England, who started life as a bored internet journalist, and a failed fashion photographer. Now aged 33, the brother’s tales of lost love and a search for the truth are set to plague America with their hilarious accounts of life on the road, and the harsh realities of turning your back on a career to pursue your dreams.

The success in the UK of the sequel to their first book, ‘The Linger Longer: Driving the Trans-Siberian’, an account of an 11,000 mile journey across Russia from the UK to Vladivostok in a $500 Ford Sierra, is tipped to be the travellers favourite this Christmas. Working in a -30oC freezer packing warehouse to fund their trip, the brothers lead us on a roller coaster ride of mayhem, as they drink vodka with Chechen criminals, survive highway robbery and are forced to confront their worst fears as they drive the notorious Amur highway across the Siberian wilderness.

Leaving us with little pause for breath, the third book by the brothers which shines a spot light this time on South America, has been voted by the national press as the funniest travel comedy of 2008. ‘The Linger Loco!’ sees our trusty heroes travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast of South America, crossing Argentina, Chile, Peru and Brazil, as they go in search of the ultimate carnival.
