Burnt

Surviving Against all the Odds - Beaten, Burnt and Left for Dead, One Man's Inspiring Story of His Survival After Losing His Legs

By: Ian Colquhoun

Narrated by: David McCann

Ian Colquhoun is an extraordinary young man surviving a mind-numbing attack that has resulted in the loss of his legs. The agonies and extraordinary experiences, courage, and his determination to survive make this a gripping and inspirational audiobook. Given the last rites three times, Ian has come through kidney failure, a seven-week coma, heart problems, 65 percent burns, and has endured more than 20 operations.

Thanks to the Internet, there were thousands of people praying for his life all over the world. The burns were to his chest/abdomen, arms, hands, chin, and worst of all, his legs. They were burned right through to the bone. They were going to have to come off if he was to live.

His parents were told that still might not be enough to save his life. Yet, somehow, his burned, broken body and soul fought on.

Author Says:

"Losing my legs was the best thing to happen to me! I had the opportunity to take stock of my life and go on to writing books and starring in films and on TV. I have no regrets about anything."
