Product Description

THE LAST ATTEMPT by Carlos Serra While attempting to set a new world record in the extreme sport of freediving, Audrey dies. Something had gone terribly wrong and despite a massive media attention, many questions remained unanswered. Suspicion fell over her husband, the legendary freediver known as Pipin, prompting his business partner, Carlos Serra, a brother-like friend to Audrey, to promise an investigation to determine responsibilities, if any. But Pipin rejected the motion and that's when the struggle between Serra and Pipin began. THE LAST ATTEMPT is the result of that investigation, and with a surprising conclusion, it comprises the whole story as it actually occurred.

What an amazing story
I followed this story through the news couple of years back, saw it on HBO, saw a segment on the National Geographic Channel and remained curious about it since no one could really tell what had happened. This book tells the whole thing and with an amazing conclusion. Audrey had a remarkable life cut short by the absurd obsession of her legendary husband. Incredible story and an amazing narrative from the author.

Solid information on the biggest tragedy in freediving world
Having read Pippins book first I fell in love with the sport. Having read this one.. I find out what a cruel world it can be. Recommended read for all fans of freediving.

The Last Attempt ...
Hi:
I am a TEC diver and diving instructor since approx. 20 years. A book about a freediving accident was not exactly what I was looking for! So I went through a couple of reviews and decided to buy it, anyhow...

Well, to put it bluntly: i read it in one take. It was absolutely absorbing and thrilling, like a top crime story; but full with information, only an insider could reveal!

As well I was really shocked about the b/w pictures of the accident and the lack of overall-security during the whole freediving record attempt!

If you are interested in either background information on this sad event, on subtle personal details about Audrey, whether if you are a freediver or
want to look into the relation between Audrey an Pipin: go an read it!

If you want to look at the cover or the TOC:
