Publisher Description
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.

A must listen! Nothing like it
This book had me hooked from the first few minutes, feeling tense and tearful within the first two chapters. So well written, I felt as though I was beside Jamie the whole way through his journey, from trauma to recovery.
An incredible person and an incredible story, inspirational and motivating.
Great book for a personal read or a gift.
I’ve worked with many wounded soldiers, this is one of the most gnarly and awe inspiring story I’ve ever heard of.
Jamie even reads the audiobook himself, which makes the listen even more emotive!
Got to get it!!!
Inspirational!
Forget the Ant Middleton rubbish, forget the self-help books written by people that once bumped their toe. This is the brutality honest account of one of the bravest humans to ever live. This book will have you in tears, laugh out loud and pause for a minute to consider the challenges of others. Thank you Jamie!
