Run For Your Life is the remarkable true story of a family forced into hiding after leaking Russian secrets. The book is the first time that Nicholas Stride and his children Anya and Michael share their harrowing story of being on the run in the remote Dampier Peninsula of Australia, after receiving death threats from Russian henchmen. For several years the family battled snakes, crocodiles, tornadoes, fires, hunger and thirst to survive.
