Recensione:
“The riveting, meticulously researched “A Storm Too Soon” tells the true-life tale of an incredible rescue” (New York Post)
"A heart-pounding account of the storm that tore apart a 45-foot sailboat." -The Boston Globe
"Tougias spins a marvelous and terrifying yarn....this is a breathtaking book." -- Los Angeles Times
"A suspenseful, tautly rendered story that leaves readers breathless but well-satisfied." (Kirkus)
“A magnificent culmination of what-ifs with such detail as to inspire reverence for the human spirit. Tougias’ use of present tense is ingenious, this is an armchair riptide of the reading experience.” (South Coast Magazine)
"Michael Tougias has done it again, this time delivering an edge-of-your-seat chronicle of what happens when a sailboat goes up against a fierce storm in the heart of the Gulf Stream." (The Providence Journal)
“It’s a story of heroism, for sure (the captain, despite being seriously injured and near death, kept his two shipmates alive), but also of sheer terror. Cast adrift in the angry seas, the men seemed to have little chance of survival. Readers of true-life adventures, especially those involving disaster and rescue at sea, should find this one very much to their liking.” (Booklist)
“Few American authors—if any—can better evoke the realities that underlie a term such as ‘desperate rescue attempt.’” (Fall River Herald)
"Deserves a place as a classic survival at sea." (The Boston Globe)
"This book captures the wit, grit and sacrifice of Coasties and their boats." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A heart-stopping true-life tale of maritime disaster, survival, and daring rescue an edge-of-your-seat chronicle of what happens when a sailboat goes up against a fierce storm in the heart of the Gulf Stream (The Providence Journal). Seventy-foot waves batter a torn life raft 250 miles out to sea in one of the worlds most dangerous places, the Gulf Stream. Hanging on to the raft are three men: a Canadian, a Brit, and their captain, JP de Lutz, a dual citizen of the United States and France. Their capsized forty-seven-foot sailboat has disappeared below the tempestuous sea. The giant waves repeatedly toss the men out of their tiny vessel, and JP, with nine broken ribs, is hypothermic and on the verge of death. Trying to reach these survivors before its too late are four brave Coast Guardsmen battling hurricane-force winds in their Jayhawk helicopter. With waves reaching an astounding eighty feet, lowering the helicopter into such chaos will be extremely dangerous. The pilots wonder if they have a realistic chance of saving the sailors or even retrieving their own rescue swimmer. Soon the rescuers find themselves in almost as much trouble as the survivors, facing one life-and-death moment after the next against the towering seas. Also caught in the storm are three other boats, each one in a Mayday situation. Of the ten people on these boats, only six will ever see land again. Spellbinding, harrowing, and meticulously researched, A Storm Too Soon is a vivid, heart-pounding narrative of survival, the power of the human spirit, and one of the most incredible rescues ever attempted. Synopsis coming soon. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781451683349
