Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameron Hardiman lived a life most young boys could only dream of. Every morning, he put on a navy blue police flight suit, grabbed his flight helmet, and prepared to work on the police helicopter. He could be called to anything during a shift, to search for a missing child, to pull an injured driver from a wrecked car, or a dangerous sea rescue. He saw his fair share of trauma and dealt with it like most coppers would: he quickly put each dangerous job out of his mind as soon as it was over. But one particular rescue job in Bass Strait brought about a reckoning -- and Cameron was never the same again. This is the story of one cop learning every lesson the hard way -- and coming to find out that being not quite bulletproof doesn't mean that you're not a good cop.
