Overview

Linda Greenlaw survived the Perfect Storm--in fact, she's a character in Sebastian Junger s bestselling book, as well as in the acclaimed film. This is her story of stormy life at sea: the tale of a thirty-day swordfishing voyage complete with danger, humor, and characters so colorful they seem to have been ripped from the pages of Moby Dick. On this particular trip, Linda must contend with savage weather, equipment failure, too few fish, and too many sharks -- not to mention the routinely backbreaking work of operating a fishing boat in a state of mind-numbing exhaustion after working ten 21-hour days in a row. At once a thrilling page-turner and a passionate ode to a fascinating way of life, The Hungry Ocean will captivate lovers of the sea, adventure, and literature alike.
