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. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Watch our short film where Aldo sets foot on the Via Dinarica trail in Bosnia to hike with award-winning Exodus guide Samer Hajrik and learn about why this is so much more than just a trail. Whelan said: "Aldo’s experiences are truly astonishing – but what also shines through the manuscript is his strength of character, his fighting spirit and his unshakeable determination to improve his life – which is what has got him to where he is now, along with his ability to harness his emotions to his advantage and never give up, even when the world wasn’t going his way.

That does sound a bit wishy-washy but when you work in extreme situations you see how fragile life is.

Aldo Kane joined the Royal Marine Commandos at the age of 16 and went on to become one of the youngest Elite Commando Reconnaissance Snipers in the UK armed forces. 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. I wanted to show an extreme situation I’ve been in, the cool story around it but also the lessons I learned and how they can be directly transferable to anyone who is reading. He’s made naked snow angels in the garden of a Siberian mayor with Hollywood megastar Tom Hardy, 44, and visited the world’s hottest desert with Superman actor Henry Cavill, 38. In speeches, he shares stories of when he was held at gunpoint, charged by a black Rhino, rowed across the Atlantic and dived on Captain Kidd’s pirate ship.

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. Lessons From the Edge is a book we should all have within arms' reach for those days we need to regain a sense of perspective. When lockdown kicked off I was in South Sudan doing a documentary with the BBC and I came back from there.

Publication is scheduled for 30th September 2021, alongside an "unmissable" publicity and marketing campaign. Aldo’s introduction to TV was as a risk assessment consultant but he has gone on to work in front of the camera with a galaxy of stars. He has hosted programmes for the BBC, Natural Geographic, and Discovery, and taken celebrities including Tom Hardy, Adrien Brody, and Henry Cavill into some of the most extreme environments on earth.
