HEROIC ADVENTURE - The Man with Nine Lives
A white-knuckle ride through the life of a genuine 22-carat hero. From Bomber Command to a German POW camp to the Emergency in Malaya, this book takes you on a tour of the bleakest hours and most dangerous places with a doughty, officer-class Englishman. There are adventures, dangers, hair-raising escapes, and bravery in spades. This is a real-life tale of derring-do, surely they don't make them like Geoff Rothwell anymore.

MAN WITH NINE LIVES
A fascinating and gripping account of an ex-Bomber Command & Special Duties squadron leader pilot in World War II which terminated in a crash on the Dutch Island of Texel and subsequent Prisoner-of-War camps and later as a rubber planter during the Communist Emergency in Malaya. The writer tells the story of how she met the subject of the biography having heard of his exploits. The resulting story takes the reader on a thrilling journey through history from 1920 to the present day.
