Even at the ragged edge of civilisation, some lines should not be crossed. Everyone believes Adam to be something hes not. Sometimes thats because hes told them a story. Sometimes hes told himself one. But when Adam joins an Alaskan fishing crew thats promising quick money, the dangerous work and harsh lifestyle strip away all fabrications and force a darkhearted exploration of who he really is. On the unforgiving Bering Sea, Adam finds the adventure and authenticity of a fishermans life revelatory. The labour required to seize bounty from the ocean invigorates him, and the often crude comradery accompanies a welcome, hardearned wisdom. But when a strike threatens the entire season and violence stalks the waves, Adam is thrust into a struggle for survival at the edge of the world, where evolutionary and social forces collide for outcomes beyond anyones control. In his riveting debut novel, Matt Riordan pairs personal experiences with a master storytellers eye in a piercing examination of the quest for identity in the face of tempests within and without.
