The world-famous Fastnet Race takes yachts from the Isle of Wight to the Fastnet Rock off the southwest coast of Ireland & back. The 1979 race began in perfect conditions, but was soon engulfed by the deadliest storm in the history of modern sailing. By the time it passed, the havoc caused was immeasurable, & fifteen sailors had lost their lives. It had been Nick Ward`s childhood ambition to sail in the Fastnet Race, & being asked to join the crew of the 30-foot yacht Grimalkin was a dream come true. But then the storm hit. Grimalkin was capsized again & again. With the skipper lost overboard, after hours of struggle three of the crew decided to abandon the boat for the liferaft. Nick & another crewmember, both unconscious, were left on the beleaguered yacht in the middle of the Irish Sea. Both were presumed dead. Gerry died a few hours later, & Nick was left to face the storm alone. ...

Anyone who read Jon Krakauer's account of the 1996 Everest disaster, Into Thin Air, will be aware of the story of Beck Weathers: the gregarious Texan climber who went snow-blind in the Death Zone below the summit & who spent a night out in the open during a blizzard that took the lives of a dozen colleagues & friends. Even as he staggered back into Camp 4 the next morning, Beck's condition was such that the other survivors assumed he would not make it back down the mountain. He was effectively left for dead, but drawing upon reserves of determination & courage he didn't know he had
- as well as the extraordinary selflessness & bravery of a Nepalese helicopter pilot he'd never met
- he finally made it to safety. Only then could a new battle begin: to rebuild his life with a family he'd taken for granted for too long.

` No shoes, no vehicle, no food, no water & no idea. I`d always been one of those blokes who ragged on people who found themselves lost in the desert. Now I was one of those people. It was hard, desolate country for a man all alone in bare feet. Nevertheless, I started to walk. & walk. The more I walked, I figured, the less distance I`d have to travel to get found. It was faulty logic, but it was the best I could come up with. In April 2006 the news broke of an amazing feat of survival by a white man in one of the most inhospitable areas of Australia. Ricky Megee was found sheltering by a dam on a remote cattle property in the Northern Territory. After being abducted on the Buntine Highway, drugged, then left for dead, Ricky had walked for ten days in bare feet through unforgiving terrain in blistering heat. Stumbling upon a dam, he set up camp there & survived for almost three months on leeches, grasshoppers, frogs & plants, losing 60kg in body weight the process. In ” Left for Dead in the Outback”, Ricky Megee gives a full & frank account of his abduction & survival, for the first time since his extraordinary rescue. Vividly told, its a gripping yet inspiring story of how one man endures a terrible ordeal & lives to tell the tale. ...
