Monmouthshire based Dan Biddle is sharing his extraordinary story in a new memoir that lays bare the harrowing reality of the 7/7 London bombings. Now living in the county with his wife Gem, Dan was the most seriously injured survivor of the 2005 terrorist attacks, losing both legs, an eye, and more in the Edgware Road explosion. Two decades on, Back from the Dead is his powerful and unflinching account of trauma, survival, and hope

Back from the Dead is the unimaginable true story of Dan Biddle, the most seriously injured survivor of the 7/7 London bombings. Blown apart in the Edgware Road Tube blast, Dan lost both legs, his left eye, his spleen, and all hearing in one ear, but it was the psychological wounds that took even longer to heal.

Twenty years on, Dan shares his brutally honest, moving, and often darkly humorous account of rebuilding his life from the rubble. From being thrown across a train carriage in a kaleidoscope of fire and metal to confronting suicide and bureaucracy, his is a story of unimaginable trauma, fierce resilience, and the healing power of love, with his wife, Gem, playing a central role in his survival.

Back from the Dead is not just a memoir, it’s a challenge to how we see trauma, politics, survival, and the strength it takes to carry on. This book demands to be seen, remembered, and talked about.
