This is such a great book. It is rare that a writer is so skillful that you are right there on the scene, but Patrick Dillon has done just that. Two crab boats have gone out in the Bering Sea to fish for crab. One of the boats is seen with the hull showing, and the other boat is never seen at all. I even liked the discussion about all the tribunals that they had trying to find out why these boats capsized. Usually that part is pretty dry, but not these. This is such a good book if you are interested at all in sea stories you will love this one. I hated the book to be over. Loved it!!!!
