    I really enjoyed this book! The ending brought a tear to my eyes. As I am a working EMT I feel as though I know some of these characters. Thanks Peter for another great read

    I think this is Canning's best book yet. Unlike the Paramedic and Rescue 471, this book is fiction, but it still is very realistic to the experience of an inner city paramedic. The story is fast-paced -- I couldn't put it down, and it was very moving. I think it would make a great movie!
