Seventy-foot waves batter a torn life raft 250 miles out to sea in
one of the world's most dangerous places, the Gulf Stream. Hanging
on to the raft are three men: a Canadian, a Brit, and their
captain, JP de Lutz, a dual citizen of the United States and
France. Their capsized forty-seven-foot sailboat has disappeared
below the tempestuous sea. The giant waves repeatedly toss the men
out of their tiny vessel, and JP, with nine broken ribs, is
hypothermic and on the verge of death.
Trying to reach these survivors before it's too late are four brave
Coast Guardsmen battling hurricane-force winds in their Jayhawk
helicopter. With waves reaching an astounding eighty feet, lowering
the helicopter into such chaos will be extremely dangerous. The
pilots wonder if they have a realistic chance of saving the sailors
or even retrieving their own rescue swimmer. Soon the rescuers find
themselves in almost as much trouble as the survivors, facing one
life-and-death moment after the next against the towering seas.
Also caught in the storm are three other boats, each one in a
Mayday situation. Of the ten people on these boats, only six will
ever see land again.
Spellbinding, harrowing, and meticulously researched, "A Storm Too
Soon" is a vivid, heart-pounding narrative of survival, the power
of the human spirit, and one of the most incredible rescues ever
attempted.
