Deadliest Waters - Softcover

Sig Hansen is the captain of the commercial fishing vessel Northwestern. He has been featured on Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch from the pilot through every season of the show.   Mark Sundeen is a contributor to Outside, New York Times Magazine, National Geographic Adventure, Men’s Journal, and McSweeney’s. He is the author of The Making of Toro and Car Camping.

Discovery Channel star Sig Hansen ("Deadliest Catch") offers a compelling account of his Norwegian-American family's history of fishing in the Bering Sea. It's a story full of nail-biting tales of survival in one of the harshest places on the globe. Narrator Rick Adamson reads in a stern tone that projects the weight of the life-or-death moments recounted without attempting to recreate the fear that was surely present in the Hansen fishermen and their crews at the time. In a straightforward and honest narration, Adamson delivers the material with the utmost respect for the job and the individuals who risk their lives doing it. L.B. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
