Publisher's summary

‘There’s water in the engine,’ he said. ‘The engine has stopped.’

This changed everything....

Surviving the Storms brings together incredible first-hand accounts of rescues carried out by the remarkable RNLI lifesavers.

In this collection of heart-wrenching and life-affirming missions, we hear blow-by-blow descriptions of some of the most dramatic rescues from the last 20 years. We experience these through the eyes of the lifesavers as they must make life-or-death decisions, face fierce conditions and tackle difficult and dangerous situations. But we also see the optimism, passion and courage that is crucial to a successful rescue and experience the genuine joy felt by the volunteer crews and lifeguards in being a part of something so important.

Each remarkable story is one of bravery, jeopardy and an unrelenting commitment to battling the forces of nature and saving every life. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the RNLI - men, women, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers, all forming one big crew determined to protect perfect strangers. They are ordinary people doing the truly extraordinary.

Great stories, but what a boring voice

Really enjoyed the stories, and the excitement but wasn't keen on the narrator very monotone

A captivating book that I found a pleasure to listen to on Audible. The RNLI is dear to my heart and I enjoyed learning about the many rescues that were detailed within the book.
