Watched by the world with bated breath, read the enthralling inside story of the Thai Cave Rescue from leading rescuer Rick Stanton

Thailand, July 2018. Twelve boys and their football coach vanish into Tham Luang caves.

Rick Stanton, a retired Midlands firefighter, races to save them. 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 Rick 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 . . .

Rick Stanton MBE GM has quietly spent forty years on his 'hobby' of exploring caves around the world, steadily building his unique skill set as he defied limits, pushed boundaries, and discovered parts of the earth that had never been seen before. In 2018, he found himself on the world's stage when he and John discovered the Wild Boars alive, trapped inside Thailand's flooded Tham Luang cave. Rick carefully planned and then successfully executed one of the most noteworthy rescue missions on record.
