John Kretschmers book is as perfectly shaped and flawlessly written as such a story can be. In addition to being the best depiction I have ever read of what it is like to be inside a hurricane at sea, At the Mercy of the Sea is as moving a story of a mans failure and redemption as can be found anywhere in the literature of the sea. This book is surely destined to become a classic.-Peter Nichols, author of Sea Change and A Voyage for MadmenJohn Kretschmer has transformed this story of three men on a collision course with a hurricane into a modern seafaring classic.-Peter Nielsen, editor of SAIL magazineWith expert analysis and taut writing, he draws readers into that mad storm. You cant turn away. You keep reading until it breaks your heart.-Fred Grimm, columnist for the Miami HeraldOnce begun, his vivid and powerful narrative is impossible to put down.-Derek Lundy, author of Godforsaken Sea and The Way of a ShipI felt I knew Carl Wake, because John Kretschmer found in him an archetype-an aging sailor with an age-old dream.-Jim Carrier, transatlantic sailor and author of The Ship and the Storm: Hurricane Mitch and the Loss of the FantomeA remarkable book, impossible to put down.-Herb McCormick, sailing journalist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSailing | Hurricane | At The Mercy Of The Sea | John Kretschmer | Caribbean\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51664057860384,"sku":"NEW0071498877","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61pCzFIuNfL.jpg?v=1778877325","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/at-the-mercy-of-the-sea-the-true-story-of-three-sailors-in-a-caribbean-hurricane-0071498877","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
