To reach freedom, the most famous escapers of all time have been
willing to endure the most horrific conditions - and the direst
consequences if caught. The collection of tales in The Greatest
Escape Stories Ever Told is gripping as only true life-and-death
struggles can be: Papillon fighting through the jungles of Guiana
only to commit himself to the open ocean in a 16-foot boat rather
than face a life in exile; Rocky Gause dodging bullets as he swims
through shark-infested waters to escape the Japanese at Bataan
while those around him simply quit; Latude battling against the
dreaded Bastille; Baron Trenck - with chains covering almost every
inch of his body - digging and digging to free himself from
wrongful imprisonment; Andre Devigny, so weak from starvation and
poor treatment that he could barely lift himself, shinnying across
a rope only yards above a German sentry during WWII on the eve of
his execution. These are just a few of the twenty-five bold and
ingenious tales of escape included in this collection. (6 x 9 1/4,
304 pages) Before becoming a freelance writer and editor, Darren
Brown was the managing editor of Wilderness Adventures Press. He
has edited several short-story collections, including For the Love
of a Dog and Brag Dog and Other Stories: The Best of Vereen Bell.
He lives in Montana, with his wife and two bird dogs.
