The Sitka Incident Walt Larson |
|
Theo sensed before he saw the faint line of white breaking the velveteen darkness about mid-way up the window. A sibilant hissing broke the silence. Fraught with danger, yet sounding so innocent, the noise grew until a roar filled the wheelhouse. Theo yanked the throttles to slow ahead, and grabbed a stanchion as he felt the boat being tugged toward that line that grew in height until it disappeared over the top of the window. The boat started to rise then shuddered to a stop as the swell hit them. My God! We're done! His mind screamed as the water crashed down. The wheelhouse windows shattered. Theo gasped and filled his lungs with air before water roared over his head. "The Sitka Incident reads like The Perfect Storm. Don't pick it up unless you're willing to be grabbed. I started reading one afternoon and it was early the next morning before I realized the time. Larson put me at the helm of a modern day sea crisis comparable to Sebastian Junger's. I was there when Theo Martin battled the raging Pacific to save the wounded, bleeding supertanker while the whole world watched. I was with him as he stood on character instead of a desire to achieve. I was with him as he fell in love with a lady named Blue." -- Ric Hunter, Colonel USAF (Retired), Writer/Photographer "The Sitka Incident is a riveting story of man's struggles against the sea and his own species. Inspired by his experiences during the salvaging operation of the Exxon Valdez, Larson paints vivid scenes; you're part of Captain Martin's crew as they battle against great odds to tow the stricken supertanker to safe harbor through hundreds of miles of harrowing seas and unexpected terrors." -- E. Michael Helms, The Proud Bastards |
