Recensione:

“In this heart-stopping account of his work recovering stolen (or otherwise illegally-seized) ships from "hellhole" ports, commercial captain Hardberger proves himself tough as a tank and articulate as a poet....[he] has a seafarer's gift for atmospheric storytelling, layering details to create a sense of place, history, and foreboding...Hardberger's escapades make undeniably fun reading.”  – Publishers Weekly (starred review)
