TIME BANDIT

Book ID/图书代码: 01240007B13689

English Summary/英文概要: As co-captains of Time Bandit, an Alaskan crab-fishing vessel designed by their father and then built by themselves, Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand struggle against the perilous conditions of the Bering Sea doing one of the deadliest---and most lucrative---jobs in the world. These two die-hard Alaskan crab-fishermen make their living battling unpredictable and frigid waters, arctic winds, crushing ice packs, raging seas, rogue waves, and extreme mental and physical exhaustion---conditions beyond most anyone’s imagination---for the chance to earn a years salary in only a few weeks time.
Raised by a domineering father who was a fisherman himself, fishing is, and always will be, a part of Andy and Johnathan’s lives. It is their blood and from a young age, they could not imaging working anywhere but on the sea. However, with the changing landscape of the fishing industry beginning to take its toll, the only way of life men like the Hillstrands have ever known, threatens to vanish.
