Theres no pain no theatrical agony No screaming no shouting The kill shot is catastrophic yet surgically precise I slumped silently on to my knees and toppled forward head first into the dirt The lads had seen enough death to assume mine was instantaneous The lights were out Thats him gone

Toby Gutteridge was only 24 when he was shot through the neck while operating behind enemy lines in Afghanistan He survived despite not breathing for at least 20 minutes Back in the UK doctors recommended that his life support machine be switched off but with the defiant spirit that would define his recovery Toby pulled through

Now quadriplegic capable of movement only with his head Toby has rebuilt his life His is an extraordinary story of survival against overwhelming odds and of the power of the human spirit to overcome extreme adversity Brutally honest and authentic he builds a compelling picture of the type of person produced by the Special Forces system and tells of how one split second changed the course of his life forever

Powerful and inspiring Never Will I Die is a universal story about our search for purpose and explores what extreme experience teaches us about what truly matters
