Into the Storm

“Spectacular in every way—an intense, immersive deep dive into a wild, dangerous, and unknown world, written with the pace and appeal of a great thriller … This is nonfiction at its very best.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Timesbestselling author of the Jack Reacher novels

“The story [Tristram] Korten tells is impressively multifaceted, exploring everything from timely issues such as climate change to timeless themes such as man’s struggle against the ocean’s fury.”—Miami New Times

“Korten does an excellent job of describing the nearly indescribable power and ferocity of major hurricanes… . Korten brings readers inside the world of the rescue crews whose incredible courage so often makes the difference between life and death in catastrophes like this one… . Into the Storm reads like more than just the chronicle of one maritime disaster—and may be a warning claxon against the possibility of more such disasters coming this hurricane season.”—Open Letters Review

“Readers of ocean drama will snap up Korten’s work… . [He] gets to tell a complete story; impressively, he keeps it suspenseful.”—The Free Lance-Star

“An incredible story and a first-rate adventure … Tristram Korten delivers us into a thrilling and dangerous world, strapping us in beside everyday heroes who confront forces of nature even Hollywood can’t re-create. Into the Storm is a triumph of reporting and you-are-there writing that becomes a deeper tale—with more implications about our own lives—with every chapter.”—Robert Kurson, New York Times bestselling author of Shadow Divers

“Riveting stuff—a terrifying but also inspiring story of disaster and resilience on the high seas. This is as close as I ever need to get to being aboard a ship in a hurricane. Riveting stuff.”—Josh Dean, author of The Taking of K-129
