<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>On September 11, 1984, an American merchant ship is seized at gunpoint by the Soviet Union in the Bering Strait just north of the Diomede Islands and taken to Siberia. This is the true story of how five young American sailors take a stand for their faith against high-ranking officers in the Soviet military.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"You do it our way. Here, there is no God."</p><p>On September 11, 1984, I was taken hostage by the Soviet Union and held captive in Siberia. Few have the courage to follow their dream. Mine led from a small town in upstate New York to a dingy cell in Siberia. Leaving my hometown with a yearning for adventure, my travels brought me to Alaska where I obtained work on a merchant ship skippered by one of the youngest ship captains in the United States. Two years later, on a freight-hauling mission to the Arctic, our ship was seized by the Soviet Union and taken hostage to Siberia. Held at gunpoint and threatened with 30 years in prison, this is the story of how five young American sailors took a stand for their faith against high-ranking officers in the Soviet military. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A must read.

You have to read it to discover why you can not put this book down, once you start to read it."</p><p>"A true story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, Charlie's account puts you face-to-face with his captors and the other members of the crew of the Freida-K. They say there are no atheists in the trenches and after reading Charlie's true account you will understand why. Don't miss this one and don't resist the tugging at your heart you will feel!"</p><p>"I found myself reading well into the night because I was locked into this gripping story and could not put the book down! I was fascinated to learn about the hard life of a deep sea fisherman and the trauma of Russian interrogation, but I was especially touched by Mr. Burrall's spiritual journey among such extraordinary circumstances."</p><p>"Mr. Burrall captured my attention in the first paragraph. As the true story unfolded, I couldn't wait to see what happens to the crew of the Frieda-K ! A must read for teen boys and older who enjoy maritime details and adventure. I read it to my four children age 5 - 12, and they all enjoyed it."</p><p>"Believe me, you won't regret this buy! Definetly the best book I've read in a long time. Mr. Burrall grabs you from the first work and won't let you go until you find out if he gets out! All of my friends enjoyed it and so did my parents. This is a story that will stay with you your whole life!"</p><p>"This book captures your heart and mind during the first two pages! Mr. Burrall weaves the truth of the Bible and his own testimony through the amazing circumstances to create a real page-turner. I recommend this book for all ages."</p><p>"Wow, all the makings of a great seafarers tale but it is true. The book draws you in and makes you feel as if you are a spectator to this moment in time. Great story and testimony. What about a sequel about the rest of his travels?"</p><br>
