Michael Wallace

Michael is as interesting as the characters in his books. He describes his life as crazy. He has ever traversed the Sahara on a camel back, eaten a guinea pig, licked on his head by a skunk, smuggled refugees from a war-torn zone and milked a cobra off its venomous poison.

The best place to start is the Sociology for a New Century series, the earliest of Michael Wallace's multi-book series: it opens with Crime and Disrepute (1994) and runs to 13 books across 1994–2018, ending with Cities in a World Economy (2018). Michael Wallace's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
