Foreword by Bear Grylls Have you ever wondered? What happens when a sniper sneezes? How an undercover cop remembers who they are? How long a solo round-the-world yachtsman can sleep for? When you're stuck at your desk day after day, do you find yourself daydreaming about a more glamorous occupation, such as a racing driver, a spy or a stunt double? The adrenaline rush and prestige of these extreme jobs is one thing, but have you ever considered the practicalities? This compelling book unravels the mysteries and exposes the pitfalls of the world's most dangerous jobs, giving a fascinating insight into the working lives of those who regularly stare death in the face rather than the usual mounds of paperwork. With interviews and practical information about each job, such as skills required and a danger rating, you'll be prepped and ready to live life on the edge!
