{"product_id":"the-third-man-factor-john-geiger-9781847674203","title":"The Third Man Factor","description":"The Third Man Factor tells the revealing story behind an extraordinary idea: that people at the very edge of death, often adventurers or explorers, experience a benevolent presence beside them who encourages them to make one final effort to survive. \nIf only a handful of people had ever experienced the Third Man, it might be dismissed as an unusual delusion but over the years the experience has occurred again and again: to mountaineers, divers, polar explorers, prisoners of war, solo sailors, aviators, astronauts and 9\/11 survivors. All have escaped traumatic events only to tell strikingly similar stories of having experienced the close presence of a helper or guardian. \nIn The Third Man Factor John Geiger combines history, scientific analysis and great adventure stories to explain this secret to survival, the Third Man who - in the words of legendary Italian climber Reinhold Messner - 'leads you out of the impossible'.","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51786901717280,"sku":"9781847674203","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781847674203.jpg?v=1780642249","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-third-man-factor-john-geiger-9781847674203","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
