'The thinking man's action hero' - The Times Magazine

Trained Royal Marines Sniper, world record breaker and extreme TV adventurer, Aldo Kane is known for his ability to navigate and lead through challenging and pressured environments, whether it be abseiling into an erupting volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo, rowing the Atlantic, getting locked in a bunker for 10 days with zero daylight, leading Steve Backshall into the jungle or being held at gunpoint...

In his debut book, Lessons From The Edge, Aldo will inspire readers with his jaw-dropping stories and show them how to survive and thrive through sheer strength of mind and sharp decision-making. It will reveal how this tough military man was able to cope with suddenly feeling worthless, how he overcame doors literally slamming in his face, how he came to realise that you can't wait for things to happen and instead how he rediscovered his identity and harnessed his emotions to his advantage to find determination, purpose, and a renewed sense of belonging. And how, to use his own words, he became the captain of his own ship.

Aldo is a firm believer that with the right head game, however hard it feels, you can get through anything life throws at you. Lessons From The Edge will inspire readers to find the spirit to do the things in life they've previously been too scared to tackle, build the courage to know that failure isn't the end, and the knowledge that the impossible can be made possible.

About the Author

Aldo Kane is a well-known TV Adventurer, Author, World Record Holder with over 20 years' experience working in some of the most extreme, remote and inhospitable places on the planet. If you have watched any adventure TV in the last ten years, then you have seen his work, either behind or in front of the camera. With almost 100 countries under his belt, there is no environment where he cannot operate. Aldo joined the Royal Marine Commandos at the age of 16 and became one of the youngest Snipers in the UK armed forces. He spent 10 years operating around the globe in all environments including war in the Middle East. Leaving the Royal Marines as an expert in Jungles, Deserts, Mountains and the Arctic, it wasn't long before Aldo started to carve a new career for himself in the TV and Film industry.

Aldo now runs Vertical Planet, a technical safety risk management company providing services for some of the world's largest TV and film productions. They are often called upon to operate in some of the world's most extreme environments, Aldo can often be found dangling into active volcanoes, dodging Cartel hitmen or squeezing underground into unknown labyrinths.
