Nights of Ice: True Stories of Disaster and Survival on Alaska's High Seas

Spike Walker has spent more than a decade fishing in the subzero hell of Alaskas coastal waters. This collection--coming on the heels of his classic memoir Working on the Edge--is a testament to the courage of those who brave natures wrath each fishing season and to the uncontrolled power of nature herself.. The crewmen in Nights of Ice face a constant onslaught of roaring waves stories-high swells and life-stealing ice. Tested by the elements these seamen battle for their vessels and their lives on every page evincing a level of courage and a will to live seldom found elsewhere in modern society.
