True life thriller of the story of the Sea Shepherd ship the ‘Bob Barker’, braving arctic seas, storms and the longest sea chase ever in their pursuit of pirate vessels poaching the Patagonian Toothfish.
Kjetil and Eskil took leave from their job as Norwegian journalists and pursued the true owners of the pirate ship through multiple countries of registration and name changes by sifting through thousands of online records and logs while the crew and captain Peter Hammarstedt of the Bob Barker played a waiting game that had a most unexpected ending. Amazing achievement and a great read.
Hyeonseo Lee escaped from North Korea into China when she was just 17- except she didn’t realise she couldn’t go back and that it would be years before she saw her family again. Her story is a roller coaster of joys and terror and is a testament to her immense survival skills. She preferred not to read for Narratives as she feared her English reading skills would let her down, so instead she relates the importance of her opening chapter to illustrate to western ears just what living in the regime meant on a daily basis. Her memoir is a real life thriller.
