<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Ed and his friend Danny join the crew of the Angie Piper to fish for crab in Alaska despite the risks. Their seasoned mates and the boat's reliability make them discount the danger. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Ed and his childhood friend Danny are gearing up in Kodiak, Alaska, preparing to join the Angie Piper's crew for another season of crab fishing. Ed is a relative newcomer, but despite the perils of the trade, he sees no reason to fear for Danny's safety. The Angie Piper has always been blessed. She has a stalwart captain, Fred, a crack engineer, Dave, and two time-tested pros to keep the rest of the operation running smoothly, exuberant Loni and the more reticent Salazar. Every season has a greenhorn, the one who works for a pittance in order to learn the ropes. This time around it is Ed's friend Danny, no ordinary crewman. Their shared history is complex. Though strong, brave, and hardworking, Danny is a simple soul, and Ed is weighed down by guilt, dark memories of the many times he failed to defend his friend against the inevitable bullying. And cantankerous Dave believes Danny is a bad omen, so much so that his bitter opposition may endanger them all. The season starts off strong, and the crew is elated by the bounty of their catch. Then their luck turns. The skies grow dark, the waves swell, and Mother Nature bears down on them with her full arsenal. When the storm finally abates, who will live to tell the tale?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<em>The Sinking of the Angie Piper</em> does everything right: great and complicated characters, shining prose, and a story of emotional and physical conflict that will resonate long after you turn the last page [....] The debut of an exciting new voice that you must not miss." --James Rollins, <em>#1</em> <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Bone Labyrinth</em></p><p>"A compelling tale of survival against the odds--highly readable." --William Napier, international bestselling author of the Attila Trilogy</p><p>"You'll feel the icy spray as <em>The Sinking of the Angie Piper</em> sucks you in and doesn't let go." --Amy Rogers, ScienceThrillers.com</p><p>"A setting rendered so perfectly I can practically feel the cold salt water of the Bay of Alaska during tanner crab season." --Chris Culver, <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author of the Ash Rashid series</p><p>"Entertaining, illuminating and a fine ride." --Robert Ferrigno, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author</p><br>
