About this listen

Unforgiving Destiny follows the true story of the 37-year pursuit by authorities on five continents to imprison and execute David McMillan as he travelled as an independent smuggler. Dogged by an obsessed DEA agent, he evades the death penalty in Thailand by escaping prison, only to be "disappeared" in Pakistan after crossing the Afghan border.

After every downfall, McMillan rebuilds his life and network only to find the same agency people arranging capture by any means. In this private history, listeners are taken to the streets of New York City and Colombia, then through the war-zones of Afghanistan and torture cells in Karachi. At the same time, McMillan balances a double life of a London gentleman with the women in his life oblivious to his true nature. Look to the author pages to hear readings, related music over those years, and see the faces behind this extraordinary journey.

“Imagine losing everything you care about. Home, family, freedom, every object that built your life,” writes McMillan. “Then locked in some of the world’s worst prisons. Even if you survive, there are little deaths feeding on your guts - when that happens five times over 30 years, those little deaths drain your soul”. Unforgiving Destiny: The Relentless Pursuit of a Black-Marketeer reveals the ultimate cost of survival in the darkest of dark worlds.

Wonderful read

I discovered David through his YouTube channel and was soon convinced that I had to know more about this deeply fascinating man. The book was incredible, never before or since have I heard a story more interesting and captivating than this.

what a life !

David McMillan guides you through his life of shadows, double identities and intrigue that you would expect from a top spy novel.
But, this is no fictional tale of daring do, but a blow by blow account of a life in prison, and on the run. Tragedy and loss are never far away when you're an international drug smuggler.
an excellent listen.

Gripping story, and better the author narrates.

Very well written. Dark at times, yet comical because it narrated by the author. Who sounds nothing like a drug smuggler, but a universaty professor or somthing along those lines. Gripping story. Would highly recommend to true crime fans 5/5
