Discover the incredible true story of survival and resilience in Dan Biddle's hardback memoir Back From The Dead. After losing his legs and more in the 2005 London terror attacks, Dan shares his twenty-year journey to inner peace and advocacy for the disabled.
They say cats have nine lives so I've been giving them a bit of a run. I've died three times on an operating table and had the same number of goes at killing myself. Luckily, the doctors were brilliant at saving my life and I was crap at ending it.
For years living was a fate worse than death for Dan Biddle. In a moment of someone else's madness, he lost all meaning to his existence along with both his legs, his left eye, his spleen and all hearing in his left ear.
His body and mind were devastated on 7 July 2005, during the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil. It took ten seconds to disassemble him. It's taken twenty years for him to find the inner peace and brutal honesty reveal his daily battle to go on surviving.
The against-the-odds story of his triumphs and joy will astonish. His battle with bureaucracy and despair will anger and shock.
The extraordinary love story that keeps him alive will inspire.
Other Information: Dan Biddle remains as gregarious as he was as a construction site manager who was an 19-stone, 6ft 4ins. tall, semi-professional football goalkeeper, until he got on the second carriage of a Tube train at Liverpool Street station in 2005. In the past fifteen years while dealing with his injuries he has become an advocate for the disabled and a vocal campaigner giving talks and presentations to Government and local authorities about what more can be done to help the physically disadvantaged.
