In 1907 some European aristocrats raced 10,000 miles from Peking, via the Gobi Desert, Siberia and Moscow, to Paris. Ninety years later, this adventure was re-enacted. This narrative of the rerun describes historical and geographical details, anecdotes, and the characters of the classic cars.

Two women who scarcely know each other, but with a common love of exotic landscape, vintage wheels, and high adventure (one a well-heeled Pacific Heights motorcycle enthusiast, the other a Santa Cruz-based automotive journalist, car fanatic, and mother of two small children) join forces to tackle an arduous endurance rally, driving a classic car over ten thousand miles of rough and exotic terrain in the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge. Prince Borghese's Trail is a classic travel adventure narrative in the tradition of Alexandra David-Neel and Beryl Markham.
