In the hours after September 11, 2001, Aaron Tait deployed to the Persian Gulf as a seventeen-year-old military officer.

This is the story of what happened next.

Far Horizons is a globe-spanning coming-of-age memoir of a fighter turned peace-seeker on a vibrant journey of transformation, adventure and love, set against backdrops of the Iraq War, Africa and the world beyond. Fresh and introspective, it will lead you to exploring not only the far corners of the world but also the uncharted aspects of yourself.

"A captivating adventure that blends wanderlust, passion, and the kind of love that changes everything."

Nina Karnikowski - Author of The Mindful Traveller

A globe-spanning tale of discovery and redemption, Aaron's raw honesty shines in his search for what it means to live a good life.'

Mark Isaacs - Author of The Kabul Peace House
