December, 2014: In the forbidding waters off Antarctica, Captain
Hammarstedt of the Bob Barker embarks on a voyage unlike any seen
before. Across ten thousand miles of hazardous seas, Hammerstedt's
crew will relentlessly pursue the Thunder - an infamous illegal
fishing ship - for what will become the longest chase in maritime
history. Wanted by Interpol, the Thunder has for years evaded
justice: accumulating millions in profits, hunting endangered
species and ruthlessly destroying ocean habitats. The authors
follow this incredible expedition from the beginning. But even as
seasoned journalists, they cannot anticipate what the chase will
uncover, as the wake of the Thunder leads them to trail of criminal
kingpins, rampant corruption, modern slavery and an international
community content to turn a blind eye. Very soon, catching Thunder
becomes more than a chase but a pursuit of the truth itself and a
symbolic race to preserve the well-being of our planet. A
Scandinavian bestseller, Catching Thunder is a remarkable true
story of courage and perseverance, and a wake-up call to act
against the destruction of our environments.
