There are dangers all around us – when we go on holiday we face the risk of air crashes, angry camels and volcanic eruptions. If we stay at home we may be abducted, attacked or the victim of a terror attack. There’s a grisly desire in all of us to fantasise about facing the worst. In a world where SAS men blab the secrets of their trade, where TV viewers lap up Seconds from Disaster and where apocalyptic news events see us stocking up on protective suits and gas masks, we need all the reliable information we can get. That doesn’t mean we have to take it seriously. While Danger! 50,000 Volts! has all the facts you need to make it clear of that piranha-infested river, we’ll also be simultaneously dipping our toes into comedy waters.

Estimated despatch 5-10 days after ordering.
