Red Summer

A vivid, gripping account of the author Bill Carter’s four summers spent in grueling and exhilaratingly hard work as a commercial salmon fisherman in a remote eskimo village in Bristol Bay, Alaska, and his rugged co-workers, particularly his crew-boss Sharon, who live by the credo: do the work or leave. Certain to appeal to adventurers, nature lovers, and armchair travelers. In the tradition of Jon Krakauer, Peter Matthiessen and Sebastian Junger, this is an honest and vivid story of what it means to leave so-called civilization behind for a life on the extreme edge, full of danger, excitement and untold beauty.
