The Trip is Tom Sykes' first book. It's been a long time coming and while it is fiction it contains many biographical fragments garnered over dozens of years driving old cars on ill-advised road trips. The Trip, A Modern Odyssey is a comical tale of the journey our hero takes from Memphis to Cape Cod in his somewhat less than road worthy car. As with all road trips this one does not go as planned. This modern odyssey is set to rhyme just as in the original Odyssey. Beyond that the comparison ends. The hero of this modern odyssey in not Odysseus or anyone like him. His name is Don, and since we never learn his last name perhaps he is a reincarnation of Don Juan or Don Quixote or a bit of Don Knox. But it's more likely the reader will see a part of himself in Don or identify partially with his surprise road companion. With the rhythm of the road in their ears and the rhyme of the lines in yours, you'll chuckle at the distractions that pop up at nearly every intersection. Or you may groan at the puzzling logic that steers them all over the map as they push ever onward. Unlike the original, this odyssey is funny, not as bloody and it doesn't take ten years to complete. The Modern Odyssey is simply The Trip, but you don't have to do any of the driving. So fasten your safety belt, tilt back the seat, relax and get ready to laugh as Don hits every bump in the road and some that aren't.

Tom treated Manhattan as his Martini, until one day - hungover and alone - he realised he was totally out of his depth and, what's more, he didn't even care.
