The Wave: In the Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean - Brossura

"Casey's sharktastic bestseller The Devil's Teeth announced the debut of a powerful voice in adventure writing, and her follow-up does not disappoint... [Her] writing on wave forces and maritime disasters is masterful."
—Outside Magazine

"[A] captivating hybrid - an intro to the mind-melting physics of waves and a ride-along with the scientists and surfers who chase after them... Fascinating."
—Men's Journal

"[A] breath-snatching thrill ride."
—Elle

"It's an exhilarating read, almost like riding a 100-foot wave yourself, but not nearly as dangerous."
—Garden & Gun

"Casey writes compellingly of the threat and beauty of the ocean at its most dangerous. [She] also smoothly translates the science of her subject into engaging prose. This book will fascinate anyone who has even the slightest interest in the oceans that surround us."
—PW

"This book is adrenalin. You don't want to surf the waves described herein. Read the book. It's safer that way."
—Eddie Vedder

"Like the surfers and scientists she profiles, Casey lived and breathed giant waves for years. Combine this kind of insane passion for craft with an uncanny ability to describe the indescribable and whisk the reader off to unimaginably surreal settings and scenarios, and you have the rogue talent that is Susan Casey. The Wave sucked me in like the undertow at Pipeline."
—Mary Roach, author of Stiff and Packing for Mars

"Reading The Wave is the closest most of us will ever come to the sensation of riding, or even seeing, one of these towering monsters of the sea. Itʼs exhilarating, astonishing, and, not infrequently, terrifying. Brace yourself."
—Candice Millard, author of The River of Doubt

"At once scary and fun, The Wave surprises at every turn."
—Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Field Notes From a Catastrophe

"Something is stewing in our seas, and Susan Casey - traveling, and in some cases swimming, all around the world - is eager to find out what it is. Both a rollicking look at the ocean's growing freakishness and a troubling examination of our ailing planet, The Wave gives new meaning to the term 'immersion reporting.'"
—Hampton Sides, author of Hellhound On His Trail
