Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

SAS trooper and trainee pilot Jamie Hull was flying solo when his aircraft caught fire. It should have been the end of his life, but it was the beginning of his story.

With flames up to his chin, he brought the plane in, climbed out and jumped from the wing. As he lay on the ground, fully conscious, waiting for the emergency services, he could smell his flesh burn.

Even if he survived, what would he have left to live for?

But this man is made of stern stuff. He fought back from the brink of death and created a new and profoundly meaningful life from the wreckage of his experience.

Meet Jamie Hull, former Special Services soldier, now ambassador for Help for Heroes and veteran of two marathons, a 3,000-mile bicycle race across America and an expedition up Mount Kilimanjaro. His story will take to you to the furthest extremes of human endurance and endeavour.

Amazing

This book was much more than I expected. The story beggars belief. It is beautifully written & structured. We're not spared the horror, pain & suffering, but it's interspersed with levity & humour.
The author's narration brings us close. A young man living a life that most could only dream of. A handsome, fit, elite soldier, multi-linguist and medic. An accomplished adventure sportsman. And then, an accident of apalling magnitude.
It's a story of pain, endurance, and of eventually prevailing despite it all. And it's a tribute to all those who's kindness made it possible.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
