A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER First responders run toward things the rest of us run away from. What makes a person want to become a first responder? As in his bestselling book Unbroken Bonds of Battle, retired Marine Johnny Joey Jones didn’t have to look further than his closest family and friends to find frontline defenders—some he’s known since childhood, some he served with, and others have become friends and mentors. In this book, you will meet: A game warden whose “miracle K-9” helped him save 22 lives in search and rescue missions A firefighter who chose the job over a lucrative family career A police officer who died placing his squad car between civilians and a drunk driver going the wrong way on the highway—and his sister, who responded by becoming a deputy A border patrol medic working to save lives in the desert heat A SWAT sniper describing how to handle a high-speed chase One thing all these people have in common: none of them wants to be called a hero.
