Aquanaut - forthcoming Rick Stanton autobiography

I understand Rick's book will be coming out in due course. As Badlad said some time ago, it will be totally different from the book he and I worked on, and he has been working with someone else for many months. 

For the avoidance of doubt, we remain on good terms, and I wish him every success with this project.
 
It's seriously good. There are four or five caving books that combine a gripping story with really good writing. This is one of them.  I'd put 'Beneath the Mountains' in the same category.
