"Rick Stanton, MBE, GM has quietly spent forty years on his ""hobby"" of exploring caves around the world, steadily building his unique skill set as he defied limits, pushed boundaries, and discovered parts of the earth that had never been seen before. In 2018, he carefully planned and then successfully executed one of the most noteworthy rescue missions on record, the Thai Cave Rescue. Rick Stanton, MBE, GM has quietly spent forty years on his ""hobby"" of exploring caves around the world, steadily building his unique skill set as he defied limits, pushed boundaries, and discovered parts of the earth that had never been seen before. In 2018, he carefully planned and then successfully executed one of the most noteworthy rescue missions on record, the Thai Cave Rescue. Karen Dealy MS BCBA has always enjoyed writing but was never motivated to pursue a writing project until she found herself personally involved in the events of this story as it was unfolding. She knew it was a tale that needed to be told from its very beginning and she wanted to be the one to tell it. When she was finally given that opportunity, she took nine months off from her work as a behavior analyst to help write this book. Don Gilet is a British actor known for his roles in Babyfather, EastEnders, 55 Degrees North, and Holby City."
