Description

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER

A brilliantly written, hour-by-hour account of an ocean tragedy and the inexperienced marine biologist who saved the ship's crew.
_____________________________

The waters of Antarctica, June 6th 1998. 23-year-old Matt Lewis has just started his dream job. An observer aboard a deep-sea fishing boat, he is mesmerized by his new surroundings: glistening icebergs, killer whales and majestic albatross.

As the crew haul in their lines for the day, the waves seem bigger than usual - they are casting shadows on the deck. A storm is brewing.

What follows is an astonishing story of human courage, folly and tragedy. With the captain missing, and the crew forced to abandon ship, Lewis leads the escape onto three life rafts, where the battle for survival begins.

As heard on BBC Radio 4, this true story will be enjoyed by readers of classics such as A Perfect Storm and Touching the Void, as well as fans of Deadliest Catch, Captain Phillips and 127 Hours.
