Description
When disaster strikes, there are those who are overcome, and those who survive. Some of the disasters in this book are things you would hope never even make it into your nightmares, let alone real life. Happen they did though - from shark attacks to explosions onboard a spaceship, a helicopter crash inside an active volcano and a submarine that suddenly sinks without warning. These and six more stories of survival in the face of incredible catastrophe will enthrall and amaze you. An easy book to read, with diagrams of some of the disasters and rescue attempts, this is a 141-page, paperback book that you just won't want to put down. ~ Zach

Category Description for True Stories
Ever wondered what it would be like to defy death in the desert, to be a spy with a special mission, or to fend off sharks from a shipwreck? Each of these high-interest, daring volumes shares the stories of adventurers, spies, soldiers, heroes and more in ways that make you feel like you were there to witness the adventure too. Because the stories are true, these volumes provide inspiring examples of real-life bravery, not just fictionalized stories of things that "could have" happened. On the other hand, although the details don't dwell on graphic situations, there may be some unappealing elements in some stories. Each single book includes 10 stories, and has 144 pages. Collections or higher-priced books are compilations of single books.
