A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

In his extraordinary new book Redmond O'Hanlon describes his most dangerous journey yet - on a trawler sailing from Stromness to Greenland. With a £2 million pound overdraft, captain Jason and his 6 crew have to take the boat out in a Force 12 (junior hurricane). And unable to fish the North Sea or Icelandic waters their journeys are becoming ever longer and more dangerous, in search of ever stranger fish.
O'Hanlon's book is a classic and beautifully written account of danger, cameraderie, Greenland halibut, exotic seabirds, enormous fry-ups, and a slightly mad - and very scared - English scientist set down among half-a-dozen tough Scotsmen.
