Going All The Way is part two of the 'Bootneck Threesome' trilogy and the follow-up to the top ten biography Going Commando, which was featured in Soldier Magazine, the Daily Telegraph and the Weekend Sport. Mark Time's latest military memoir brims with emotion, bouncing between hilarious disasters and sobering confrontation. 'The folly of youth needn't define who we become.' Mark Time Now a commando, yet still more a poster boy for children's underpants than the Royal Marines, Mark Time hones his newfound military skills and discovers the noble art of transvestism. He plunges into a world of sun, sea and sangars, where he jumps between the dystopian world of colonial peacekeeping and the hedonistic lifestyle of a military with no wars to join. Whether he is scuppering fermented diesel in the jungle or being sledgehammered by the unfiltered suffering of conflict, Mark carries a dark secret that weighs heavier than the equipment he carries on his back. Often controversial, this book's provocative nature is certainly not for the faint-hearted, yet is a humorous and uplifting account of a troubled bon vivant. Like his first book, Going All The Way will appeal to a wider audience than the usual military fare, offering insight into many topical issues including military strategy and mental health, all glazed with his synonymous humour, as Mark's ethos lies in 'painting the world with colour'. WARNING: Contains scenes of sex, violence, and commandos wearing lipstick. 'A cross between Jeremy Clarkson and Tom Sharpe' Navy Net. MARK TIME is a former Royal Marines Commando. After the success of Going Commando, Mark has written articles for the national press and been invited to interview on TV and radio.
Mark Time's latest memoir turns the tables on Bill Bryson as a Limey submerged in the mystifying world of America's Mid West. As the bookend to the 'Bootneck Threesome' trilogy, Mark turns away from a hapless life in green and join the ranks of misguided adventurer. As follow-up to the internationally acclaimed Going Commando and Going All The Way, Mark continues unabated in his quest to celebrate buffoonery. 'I've learned the hard way not to approach immigration officials whilst eating a Scotch Egg.' Mark Time. Mark Time is leaving the Royal Marines. He decides the ideal way to prepare for 'Civvy Street' is to participate in a kayaking expedition down the Mississippi River with three other commandos. Armed with nothing more than audacity and a poor pancake recipe, Mark's journey is typically one of hilarity and misfortune punctuated with surreal vignettes that venture off like the tributaries of the great river itself. As one does, Mark gets inextricably involved with, death, elk murdering Christians, heroin addicted teachers, stigmata, and a parrot called Humphrey, all while painting a unique caricature of the 'Big Muddy'. Pioneering as a military/travel crossover, Mark's unique style now follows his true passion. His already loyal audience will now expand to the many travel fans tired of sycophantic travel blogs. After the success of his previous works, MARK TIME has written articles for the national press and appeared on TV and radio.
