The sea captain featured in Sebastian Junger's 'The Perfect Storm' tells her own adventure-soaked story. Now Linda Greenlaw tells her own tales of sword-fishing voyages aboard one of the best-outfitted boats in America. Complete with dangerous adventure, humour and characters so colourful they seem to have been ripped from the pages of 'Moby Dick'.
The excitement starts immediately, even before Greenlaw and her crew leave the dock - and it doesn't stop until the last page. Once under way, she contends with appalling weather, equipment failure, and teachery aboard ship, not to mention the routinely backbreaking work of operating a fishing boat.
Displaying a true fisherman's gift for storytelling, and a true writer's flair for both drama and reflection, Linda Greenlaw offers an ideal mix of real-life adventure and tales of the beauty and power of the sea.
