“A wild upstream adventure.”  * New York Post * “Hard to imagine that a story about fish eggs could be ‘fast paced,’ not to mention prophetic. But this piece of environmental journalism is both. . . . It’s a book about America in microcosm. . . . Caviar, it turns out, is not just tasty. In Carey’s hands, it’s luminous.” * Kirkus Reviews *
