Berg has gambled everything on reaching the Golden Adventurer before a competitor and a violent storm to win a fortune in salvage fees. If he succeeds, however, the real danger will only just begin . . ..
From the power of a relentless ocean to the hunger of men to survive upon her, this is a towering novel of adventure, love and the daring of the human soul.

This is a vivid realistic novel on the razor's edge between human courage and nature's wrath. This story takes place in the frigid South Atlantic. Open the cover and you will be drawn in. I loved this book. I have read it now 3 times and each time it is powerful. If you enjoy stories about struggle to cope with nature and the ocean you also will enjoy this read.
