There’s no programme on television you feel like watching. You’ve already been to this week’s film at the cinema. The football match has been postponed because of fog.
What do you do?
You can find thrills and action any time you want them in these pages. The True Life Library contains true stories of real people doing all the things you’ve dreamed of. When you read about these men and women you can share their adventures without ever leaving your seat.
