"[An] edge-of-your-seat look at the slam-bang world of stunt pros…Great supplemental reading for movie fans."―Rocky Mountain News
In The Full Burn, Kevin Conley goes inside one of the coolest and most dangerous jobs in the world. With bravura storytelling and full access to legends of the field, he gives a behind-the-scenes view of the stuntman's world: the history, the culture, and the tricks of the trade, showing how―and why―stuntmen do the crazy things they do. He even subjects himself to the stuntman's ultimate rite of passage, the book's eponymous stunt, in which he is doused in jellied gasoline and set aflame. Packed with amazing stories and fascinating insights into the movies you love, this is truly immersion journalism at its finest.
