The Power Of The Paddle
Djibouti, a tiny country on the Horn of Africa at the entrance to the Gulf of Aden, has become a refuge for people fleeing from neighbouring war zones. It’s here that former soldier and extreme adventurer Jordan Wylie visited various refugee camps and orphanages and saw first-hand the grim lives of many of the children, deprived of so many of the basic things which most children in the U.K. simply take for granted.
Determined to raise funds and awareness to build a new school for some of these children, Jordan embarked on a series of extraordinary adventures, becoming the first person to row solo and unsupported across the pirate invested Bab-El-Mandeb Straits between Yemen and the Horn of Africa; running a series of extreme marathons in ice-cold climates around the world and by Stand Up Paddleboarding for longer and further than anyone ever had before at sea, in an attempt to circumnavigate mainland Great Britain, where he faced angry fisherman, busy shipping lanes, military firing ranges, crazy teenagers on jet-skis, psychotic jelly-fish and, finally, Covid-19.
This is the inspirational true story of the lengths one man took to fulfil a dream and keep his promise of making a positive contribution to the lives of the people, especially children, in the war-torn countries he’d come to know so well through his travels.
“A highly accomplished adventurer who continues to inspire young people around the world to never give up and follow their dreams”
Nimsdai Purja MBE, Elite Soldier, Mountaineer & World Record Holder
“It was a real privilege to work alongside Jordan and see first-hand his commitment to helping inspire the next generation of children”
Alex Gregory MBE, Double Olympic Champion & Ocean Rower
Djibouti: A Gateway To Adventure
Hidden on the Horn of Africa, between Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia, lies one of the world’s most overlooked and extraordinary destinations. A land of salt lakes, dormant volcanoes, desert landscapes and pristine seas, Djibouti remains a place largely untouched by mass tourism, a country where adventure still feels genuine.
In Djibouti: A Gateway to Adventure, award-winning adventurer and bestselling author Jordan Wylie MBE invites readers on a remarkable journey through a nation that has captivated him for nearly two decades. Combining personal stories, practical travel advice and fascinating local insight, Jordan reveals the people, places and experiences that make Djibouti unlike anywhere else on Earth.
From the bustling streets of Djibouti City to the otherworldly landscapes of Lake Assal, this book explores a country of extremes, wonder and untapped potential. Along the way, readers will encounter ancient traditions, breathtaking natural beauty and unforgettable adventures both above and below the waterline.
Part travel guide, part memoir and part celebration of exploration, Djibouti: A Gateway to Adventure is an invitation to discover one of the last truly undiscovered corners of our planet and to see why this remarkable country continues to draw Jordan back year after year.
This title will be released on November 28, 2026.

Citadel
In this international bestseller titled Citadel, Jordan Wylie writes the first ever account of those dangerous years from someone ‘at the front’. A young soldier from the backstreets of Blackpool who had served in Iraq and had lost friends and colleagues, he was determined to make the most of his life, but unsure of the way forward. To his surprise, he found his answers in the perilous waters of ‘Pirate Alley’ in far away lands.
“The scourge of piracy continues around the globe and this is an action packed account from a man who has been at the sharp end many times”
Admiral James Stavridis, US Navy – NATO Supreme Allied Commander (2009-2013)
