READ ABOUT THE HEROIC RESCUE, AS SEEN IN RON HOWARD'S THIRTEEN
LIVES, FROM THE MAN AT THE HEART OF THE SEARCH. '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 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. 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.
