Books by Dean Beeby

A ship sinks, a plane crashes, a child wanders deep into the forest -- and the world's best search-and-rescue personnel are on the spot, risking their own lives to snatch the victims from death. Among the terrifying events in Deadly Frontiers are the death of nine-year-old Andy Warburton in the woods near Halifax, the sinking of the MV Flare and the Ocean Ranger, the wreck of a Labrador search-and-rescue helicopter, an the crash of Swissair Flight 111. Veteran newsman Dean Beeby covered many of these disasters, sometimes form his reporter's desk and sometimes from the midst of the action. He reveals the heroism of rescuers determined to cheat dense forest and the raging Atlantic of their human prey. He also exposes the political heel-dragging that hinders the work of these brave men and women.
