As depicted in Ron Howard's hit film THIRTEEN LIVES, this is the
THRILLING account of the dramatic Thai cave rescue which saved the
lives of thirteen people, FROM THE DIVER WHO LED THE RESCUE. 'A
profound and thrilling read.' COLIN FARRELL 'Riveting...a powerful
story written by a hero who lived it.' RON HOWARD, Oscar-winning
director of Apollo 13 In this first-hand account, John Volanthen
reveals how he pushed the limits of human endurance in the
life-or-death mission to rescue the Thai youth soccer team trapped
in the flooded cave. The world held its breath in 2018 when the
Wild Boars soccer team and their coach went missing deep
underground in the Tham Luang cave complex in northern Thailand.
They had been stranded by sudden, continuous monsoon rains while
exploring the caves after practice. With torrential rain pouring
down and the waters still on the rise, an army of rescue teams and
equipment was deployed, including Thai Navy SEALs, a US Air Force
special tactics squadron, police sniffer dogs, drones and robots.
But it was British cave diver John Volanthen and his partner, Rick
Stanton, who were first to reach the stranded team and who played a
key role in their ultimate rescue. As John's light flickered from
one boy to another, he called out, 'How many of you?' 'Thirteen,'a
boy answered. After 10 days trapped in desperate darkness, the boys
and their coach were all alive. Each chapter of Thirteen Lessons
that Saved Thirteen Lives tells one part of the edge-of-your-seat
mission from Tham Luang but also imparts a life lesson, gleaned
from John's previous rescues and record-breaking cave dives, that
can be applied to everyday obstacles and challenges. In this story
of breathtaking courage and nerves of steel, John reveals how
responding positively to the statement, 'But I can't...' by
stating, 'I can,' led to one of the most incredible rescues of all
time. He hopes that his story will inspire the superhero in you.
Meanwhile, he is always on standby for the next rescue.
