There is nothing like a sea story to entertain, thrill, move, shock, or inspire a reader, and this collection will do just that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is it about the sea that lends itself to so many indelibly classic stories? The sea is a wonderful stage on which to unroll a dramatic narrative or introduce a heroic character. It’s no wonder so many masterpieces are set on the seas of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom sublime moments gunkholing with Erskine Childers in “An Introduction to Informality,” to sheer terror with the ill-fated men among sharks in Raymond B. Lech's “The Loss of the Indianapolis,” to astounding respect for the endurance of Ernest Shackleton and his storm-tossed men in “Escape from the Ice,” there is simply nothing that can compare to what awaits in this collection of twenty-eight thrilling stories.
