5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 20 Mar 2004

By A Customer

What a fantastic book of short stories. I couldnt put it down and finished it within 24 hours. Peter manages to make you feel like you are there on the scene, experiencing everything that him and his team try to cope with. Definitely worth buying at this price too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic Tales of the Streets, 31 Jan 2003

By	Angelo Penfold - See all my reviews

A touching volume of stories from paramedic Peter Canning. Rescue 471 tells the tales of his life on the streets of Hartford, CT. The stories go from touching to gory, from joyful to depressing, but each one hits you in the heart and in the stomach. This is an excellent read for anyone interested in medicine, adventure or simple realism.
