Here's what others have said: From Goodreads: ".This is an exciting book for anyone who enjoys real-life "human being vs. nature" stories. I was on the edge of my seat numerous times. I enjoyed learning about the Coast Guard rescue swimmer program and what it was like to be involved in rescue efforts following Hurricane Katrina. The author's voice is engaging -- his dauntless and somewhat swashbuckling personality really comes through. The Coasties in this book descend into raging storms and life-threatening situations, where they tell terrified victims, "Don't worry, we do this all the time." According to Hoover, the number-one job requirement is to "rather die than fail." From Amazon:: ".Amazing, true stories, of US Coast Guard rescue swimmers / heroes. Couldn't put down this book.scary, heroic.very well written. You men & women are a very special "breed" and we (US citizens) can't / don't thank you enough for your service!! These are the details you never see or read about in the news to know what really goes on at the scene of such incidents. Fast read.different story & different heroes in each chapter. Highly recommended!" This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
