The brilliant, inspirational next book by the author of the incredible No. 1 bestseller FIRST MAN IN • Without fear, there’s no challenge. Without challenge, there’s no growth. Without growth, there’s no life • Ant Middleton is no stranger to fear: as a point man in the Special Forces, he confronted fear on a daily basis, never knowing what lay behind the next corner, or the next closed door.

It is the energy that propels him
