No profession pits man against nature more brutally than king crab
fishing in the frigid, unpredictable waters of the Bering Sea. The
yearly death toll is staggering (forty-two men in 1988 alone); the
conditions are beyond most imaginations (90-mph Arctic winds,
25-foot seas, and super-human stretches of on-deck labor); but the
payback, if one survives can be tens of thousands of dollars for a
month-long season.
In a breathtaking, action-packed account that combines his personal
story with the stories of survivors of the industry's most
harrowing disasters, Spike Walker re-creates the boom years of
Alaskan crab fishing--a modern-day gold rush that drew hundreds of
fortune-and adventure-hunters to Alaska's dangerous waters--and the
crash that followed.
