'A damn scary book so of course I loved it. Ben Timberlake makes a neurobiological experiment in a laboratory that I'd advise everyone to stay out of-the self. High Risk is, in a way, the story of a wicked Mr Hyde inventing a serum to transform himself into a reputable Dr Jekyll. Let's hope the serum keeps working.' -- P.J. O'Rourke, author of Give War a Chance and Holidays in Hell 'A riotous joyride to Hell and back... a life story that sits somewhere between a pilgrimage and a dare. Timberlake's writing hits unexpected, lyrical notes and makes original, illuminating connections. Ferociously smart, startlingly honest and very, very funny.' -- Kate Weinberg, novelist and author of 'The Truants' 'An intimate, deep and poignant account of the adrenaline-driven yet toxic nexus of war, sex and drugs, Timberlake's memoir is as disturbing as it is addictively absorbing. A powerful book.' -- Lukasz Kamienski, author of Shooting Up: A History of Drugs in Warfare
