Written by bestselling author Phil Hewitt, Outrunning the Demons is an exploration of the transformative power of running – and how it can be the key to unlocking resilience we never knew we had. 'an inspiring collection of stories about runners who have run through unimaginable adversity to find perspective, resolution and ultimately peace, within themselves and with the universe.' - Dean Karnazes 'a really good book ... with fascinating stories' – BBC Radio Four, Today Programme Exhilarating, compelling and beautifully written; this extraordinary book, both humbling and uplifting.' - Peter James, international bestselling writer 'a remarkable collection of intensely personal stories connects the reader to the restorative power of running.' – Hugh Bonneville Running can take us to fantastic places. Just as importantly, it can also bring us back from terrible ones. For people in times of crisis, trauma and physical or mental illness – when normality collapses – running can put things back together again. After bestselling author Phil Hewitt was viciously mugged, stabbed and left for dead in 2016, he found himself suffering the acute symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Unable to make sense of the horrific experience that had happened to him, Phil found that dedicating himself to running was slowly but surely helping him heal. Outrunning the Demons is an enriching and celebratory exploration of the transformative power of running – and how it can be the key to unlocking resilience we never knew we had. Told through 34 deeply affecting real-life stories and covering such diverse themes as trauma, bereavement, addiction, depression and anxiety, this compelling book is an exposition of just why running can so often be the answer to everything when we find ourselves in extremis.

Book excerpt: A new Path must be forged in the blood of heroes. General Sato is not the sentinel he once was. Confronted with the brutal realities of his order, he wrestles with his faith in the Path. Now, with the Maraman threat tainting the soil of Samas, Sato must decide if he should break from the Path for good or cling tightly to the tenets he's followed since he was a child. Abandoning Samas, Beast sailed in search of a simpler life where fighting for his own freedom was all that mattered. Now, commanding a juggernaut, one question bothers him most of all: What good is a warrior without a fight? The sentinels Shin hated now serve alongside the sin under her command. Her extraordinary aptitude for sacrifice has become her greatest source of shame. The one constant in her life is Corin, but even he knows she can’t hide from sacrifice forever. The Maraman emperor has arrived, and Shin might be the only one who can stop him. As Samas enters its darkest hour, the heroes it needs are farther away than ever. To survive, they must find a new way forward, a new Path, forged from the blood of the warriors of sun and moon.

Book excerpt: Meet Meda. She eats people. Well, technically, she eats their soul. But she totally promises to only go for people who deserve it. She’s special. It’s not her fault she enjoys it. She can’t help being a bad guy. Besides, what else can she do? Her mother was killed and it’s not like there are any other “soul-eaters” around to show her how to be different. That is, until the three men in suits show up. They can do what she can do. They’re like her. Meda might finally have a chance to figure out what she is. The problem? They kind of want to kill her. Before they get the chance Meda is rescued by Crusaders, members of an elite group dedicated to wiping out Meda’s kind. This is her chance! Play along with the “good guys” and she’ll finally figure out what, exactly, her “kind” is. Be careful what you wish for. Playing capture the flag with her mortal enemies, babysitting a teenage boy with a hero complex, and trying to keep one step ahead of a too-clever girl are bad enough. But the Hunger is gaining on her.

Book excerpt: An epic fantasy adventure set in the beloved world of the Demon Cycle, following a new generation of heroes, from New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett “Heart-wrenching, smart, and modern . . . The Desert Prince has set a new standard for fantasy.”—Wesley Chu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The War Arts Saga Fifteen years have passed since the end of the war with demons, creatures of darkness who have hunted the night and plagued humanity since time out of mind. The heroes of humanity’s hour of need have become legend, and those who remain struggle to escape their shadows. Olive Paper and Darin Bales have grown up in this new peaceful world. Demons have been all but destroyed, but dangers still lurk for the children of heroes. Olive, princess of Hollow, has her entire life planned out by her mother, Duchess Leesha Paper: a steady march on a checklist to prepare her for succession. The more her mother writes the script, the more Olive rails against playing the parts she is assigned. Darin faces challenges of a different kind. Though free to choose his own path, the weight of legacy hangs heavy around his shoulders. It isn’t easy being the son of the man people say saved the world. Everyone expects greatness from Darin, but the only thing he’s ever been great at is hiding. When Olive and Darin step across the wards one night, they learn the demons are not all gone, and those that remain hunger for revenge. Events are set in motion that only prophecy can foresee as Olive and Darin seek to find their own places in the world in time to save it again.

Book excerpt: 'The most beautiful book I ever read.' – Rune Larsson, ultra-distance runner Markus Torgeby was just 20 years old when he headed off into the remote Swedish forest to live as a recluse and dedicate himself to his one true passion: running. He lived in a tent in the wilderness, braving the harsh Swedish winters – for four years. This is his story. An international bestseller, this extraordinary book is a powerful exploration of running, resilience, loss, and self-discovery. A talented long-distance runner in his teens, Markus Torgeby excelled in training, but often failed inexplicably in competition. Pressurised by his coach and consumed by the suffering of his MS-afflicted mother, he chose to do something that most of us only dream of: escape the modern world. In his stripped-back lifestyle in the woods, surviving with the bare minimum of supplies and enduring extreme cold, he found salvation and ultimately his true direction in life.

Book excerpt: God is dead. I killed him. My name’s Nic Ward. At least, that’s what I’m going by these days. Once, Heaven and Hell alike knew me as Nicariel the Fallen. But it turns out killing the tyrant on the Divine Throne will earn you a bit of a reputation. So I’m hiding out in the human world, keeping to myself. I’d say I’ve more than earned a quiet retirement. But without anyone keeping order up above, the demons in Hell are restless. And Heaven has its own problems, with power-hungry angels scheming to claim the Throne for themselves. It’s easy for defenseless humans to get caught in the crossfire. And no one is interested in looking out for the little guy. No one but me. Guess my retirement won’t be so quiet after all… This omnibus edition contains the first three books of the Nic Ward noir urban fantasy series: Nothing Sacred, Broken Faith, and Crooked Idols.

Book excerpt: When human justice fails, the desperate call me. You know things are bad when a fallen angel is one of the good guys. Only I’m not much more than human myself now. Not since I lost my magic in the war that defeated the big boss in Heaven for good. I stay away from the supernatural these days. I’ve got enough regular old human wrongs to right without borrowing trouble I no longer have the firepower to handle. Besides, I paid my dues in the war, and have the scars to prove it. If anyone deserves a little peace and quiet, it’s me. That rule worked great until today. Now there’s a beautiful woman on my doorstep with a demon problem. She’s too innocent for the world she’s stumbled into. She doesn’t stand a chance on her own. But if I let her in, it’s only a matter of time before this job brings me face to face with the consequences of what I did in the war—the secret I’ve worked so hard to leave behind.

Book excerpt: Retired Navy SEAL and New York Times bestselling author Jason Redman divulges how to triumph over adversity using proven Special Operations habits and mindsets. Adversity can often catch you by surprise and leave you struggling with what to do next. What if you could confront any adversity, from the biggest challenges -- the loss of your job, divorce, health issues, bankruptcy -- to normal daily challenges -- a late flight, a disappointing phone call, a missed promotion, a bad day -- and not just survive it, but thrive afterwards? Redman was horrifically wounded in Iraq in 2007 when he was shot at close range through the face and arm. After 40 surgeries, including extensive facial reconstruction and skin grafts, he came back from this experience stronger than ever -- despite carrying scars and injuries he will have for the rest of his life. Redman went on to launch two successful companies and speaks all over the country on how to build better leaders through his Overcome mindset. Overcome is based on extensive research and interviews with America's toughest warriors, including retired 4-star Admiral William McRaven, retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, retired 4-star General Stanley McChrystal, and others. In this book, Redman teaches: How to survive any life ambush How to move from defense to offense using the proactive techniques of SEAL teams How to strengthen your endurance during long-term trials How to rediscover and thrive in your life purpose How to lead your team (whether in business or family) to success How to compete with the top 1% in your field How to stay the course even when you want to quit And more Some people move through adversity and others fall underneath it. Learn how you can be counted among those who will Overcome.
