Description

THE ENTHRALLING INSIDE STORY OF THE THAI CAVE RESCUE FROM THE MAN AT THE HEART OF THE MISSION, AS SEEN IN THE SUNDAY TIMES

  • 'The British divers are all heroes' Clive Cussler
  • 'A case study in courage' Ron Howard, Oscar-winning director of Apollo 13

Thailand, July 2018. Twelve boys and their football coach vanish into Tham Luang caves just as the monsoon rains hit. A mile from the surface they are trapped by rising flood waters. All attempts to reach them fail.

As hope for their survival fades a retired British firefighter tinkering with homemade cave-diving kit gets a call.

Rick Stanton and his dive partner race to the other side of the world.

The boys have been missing for days.

Each hour, their chance of escape shrinks.

Rick must swim, crawl and squeeze through treacherously tight submerged tunnels hunting for them.

But that is not the impossible part.

Because if by some miracle they're alive then somehow he must bring the boys back out again . . .

He doesn't know it yet but all his life he's been training for this very moment . . .

Sunday Times
As the world held its breath, the men and their team achieved the impossible. This is their riveting, behind-the-scenes story. Captivating Sunday Post
You probably won't read a better-written book about diving this year . . . Funny and relentlessly self-deprecating. I read this at two sittings Diver Magazine
