Ernie is a hero
I had the pleasure of working with Ernie in a privately owned company a few years ago. I was amazed when I found out exactly what he went through for so many years. When his son loaned me a copy of his book I could not put it down. This book is a page turner, every event in Ernie's life takes many turns. You are always asking yourself how much can this man take?

An incredible read
The story of Col Thompson is truly remarkable. The thing that grabbed me the most was his constant struggle to regain the life he knew before he was captured.

Thank God for Second Chances
Teriffic!! Couldn't put it down. I read this book over a year ago, loaned it out to several people and have still never got it back. It made a big impression on me and I still can't get it out of my head.
