Description

How many times can a man cheat death? Surviving a rare, potentially fatal nerve disorder. Almost cremated by invisible, high-intensity flames. Inches away from house-sized boulders screaming down from above. Negotiating hungry, man-eating crevasses on glaciers. Imagine facing all these and more, as a partially disabled man. For most of us, such close encounters with mortal dangers 8,000 metres above civilisation are experienced only in movies. For David Lim, it's a typical day at the office. Against Giants is about confronting your deadliest nemesis, slaying dragons in your head, overcoming physical disabilities — and the triumphs reserved for those who push their limits beyond the conventional definition of possible.
