Pressezitat
“This is a riveting tale of the complexities and harsh realities of the Alaskan fishing industry, peopled by fiercely independent and resourceful men and women whose every day is a struggle for survival.” —Publishers Weekly“Highly detailed, exciting portrayals of commercial fishermen in Alaska and their frequently tumultuous lifestyle . . . The appeal of this third in the series is identical to its predecessors: rich, vivid, you-are-there storytelling about Alaskan fishermen and their world. Readers of Highliners and Breakers who have eagerly been waiting to see what’s next for Hank Crawford will be completely satisfied.” —Booklist
