The book weighs 1.4kgs and features astonishing stories on champion athletes from a remarkable 33 sports.

Torquay-based Jacoby won an unprecedented four world marathon kayak titles among a stunning array of victories in some of the planet’s most revered adventure race challenges. His crowning achievement occurred in 2015 when he celebrated his 50^th birthday with three mates by daringly circumnavigating the inhospitable South Georgia Island in single kayaks – a 500km world record-shattering trek in the treacherous, iceberg-littered waters of the South Atlantic Ocean.
The extraordinary feat is glamorised with a beautiful picture on The Conquerors’ front cover.
