Reviews
"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 Times bestselling 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

Synopsis
In late September 2015, as Hurricane Joaquin bore down on the Bahamas, two cargo vessels were swallowed by the storm: El Faro, a 790-foot behemoth with a mostly American crew of thirty-three, and the Minouche, a 230-foot freighter with a dozen Haitain and Filipino sailors aboard. From the parallel stories of these ships and their final journeys, Tristram Korten weaves an unforgettable tale of two veteran sea captains from opposite ends of the earth and the Coast Guard's battle against a storm that defied prediction, shining a light on the elite rescue swimmers trained for the most dangerous occan missions. In the tradition of Sebastian Junger and Jon Jon Krakauer, Into the Storm is a moving and propulsive story of men in peril, the international brotherhood of mariners, and the breathtaking power of nature. Book jacket., "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 The true story of two doomed ships and a daring search-and-rescue operation that shines a light on the elite Coast Guard swimmers trained for the most dangerous ocean missions With a new epilogue about a flight on a hurricane hunter In late September 2015, Hurricane Joaquin swept past the Bahamas and swallowed a pair of cargo vessels in its destructive path: El Faro , a 790-foot American behemoth with a crew of thirty-three, and the Minouche , a 230-foot freighter with a dozen sailors aboard. From the parallel stories of these ships and their final journeys, Tristram Korten weaves a remarkable tale of two veteran sea captains from very different worlds, the harrowing ordeals of their desperate crews, and the Coast Guard's extraordinary battle against a storm that defied prediction. When the Coast Guard received word from Captain Renelo Gelera that the Minouche was taking on water on the night of October 1, the servicemen on duty helicoptered through Joaquin to the sinking ship. Rescue swimmer Ben Cournia dropped into the sea--in the middle of a raging tropical cyclone, in the dark--and churned through the monstrous swells, loading survivors into a rescue basket dangling from the helicopter as its pilot struggled against the tempest. With pulsating narrative skill in the tradition of Sebastian Junger and Jon Krakauer, Korten recounts the heroic efforts by Cournia and his fellow guardsmen to haul the Minouche' s crew to safety. Tragically, things would not go as well for Captain Michael Davidson and El Faro . Despite exhaustive searching by her would-be rescuers, the loss of the vessel became the largest U.S. maritime disaster in decades. As Korten narrates the ships' fates, with insights drawn from insider access to crew members, Coast Guard teams, and their families, he delivers a moving and propulsive story of men in peril, the international brotherhood of mariners, and the breathtaking power of nature. Praise for Into the Storm "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 " 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, "An intense, immersive deep dive into a wild, dangerous, and unknown world, written with the pace and appeal of a great thriller.
