About this ebook
Deadliest Sea by Kalee Thompson is the spellbinding true story of the greatest rescue in U.S. Coast Guard history. Recounting the tragic sinking of the fishing trawler, Alaska Ranger, in the Bering Sea and its remarkable aftermath in March 2008, Deadliest Sea is real life action and adventure at its finest. The full story of an amazing rescue—where extraordinary courage, ingenuity, will, and technology combined in one of the most remarkable maritime feats ever recorded—has never been told before now. It’s The Perfect Storm meets Deadliest Catch.

I loved this book, I read it in one day. The author did a great job introducing the characters and telling the tale. I have teased by kids for years about becoming Coast Guard rescue swimmers, this really tells the story of these heroes and everyone else who assisted in the rescue. A true team effort.
