For readers of Ant Middleton, Jason Fox, and SAS: Who Dares Wins,
comes the extraordinary story of Special Forces soldier Dean Stott.
Everybody has heard the SAS motto that who dares wins, but special
forces warrior Dean Stott also lives his life by another powerful
mantra - that of the relentless pursuit of excellence. In 16 years
of service, Dean rose to the top of Britain's fighting force,
taking part of some of the most daring and dangerous operations in
the war on terror. But then, following a horrific parachuting
accident, Dean's dream career was cut short, and his ethos was put
to its toughest test. Just like the day when Dean's dad said that
he could never make it as a soldier, Dean's doctors told him that
he would never again perform at the elite level. To put it mildly,
Dean disagreed, but even those that knew him were staggered by the
mission that he set himself - the man who didn't own a bike would
cycle the Pan American Highway, a 14,000 mile route that stretches
from Argentina to Alaska, passing through some of the most
dangerous countries in the world. A passionate mental health
campaigner, Dean decided to up the stakes further by setting
himself the task of raising a million pounds for charity. With two
world records also in his sights, the stage was set for Dean to
rediscover the tenacity, bravery, and downright doggedness that saw
him rise to the top of the Special Forces. The final curveball
arrived in the shape of a wedding invitation from his old friend
Prince Harry - would he make it back in time for the royal wedding,
or at all? Dean Stott is Relentless, and this is his story.
**From the star of SAS AUSTRALIA** 'Dean's journey from the Special
Boat Service to intrepid adventurer is truly inspirational.' - Sir
Ranulph Fiennes 'An extraordinary tale of courage and adventure.
Dean's story is inspirational.' - Levison Wood 'Dean's relentless
determination to help those who face many mental health battles is
incredible and admirable - he's a hero to many.' - Bear Grylls For
readers of Ant Middleton, Jason Fox, Brian Wood, Bear Grylls and
Billy Billingham comes the extraordinary, inspirational story of
Special Boat Service soldier and adventurer Dean Stott. Everybody
has heard the SAS motto that who dares wins, but special forces
warrior Dean Stott also lives his life by another powerful mantra -
that of the relentless pursuit of excellence. In 16 years of
service, Dean rose to the top of Britain's fighting force, taking
part of some of the most daring and dangerous operations in the war
on terror, and then in the private security force, where missions
included him singlehandedly evacuating the Canadian Embassy in
Libya. But then, following a horrific parachuting accident, Dean's
dream career was cut short, and his ethos was put to its toughest
test. Just like the day when Dean's dad said that he could never
make it as a soldier, Dean's doctors told him that he would never
again perform at the elite level. To put it mildly, Dean disagreed,
but even those that knew him were staggered by the mission that he
set himself - the man who didn't own a bike would cycle the Pan
American Highway, a 14,000 mile route that stretches from Argentina

bravery, and downright doggedness that saw him rise to the top of
the Special Forces. The final curveball arrived in the shape of a
wedding invitation from his old friend Prince Harry - would he make
it back in time for the royal wedding, or at all? Dean Stott is
Relentless, and this is his story.
