My husband said he wanted to read this book slowly because he didn't want the story to end. If we were billionaires, we would give each member of the Coast Guard a million bucks for their courage and bravery in saving lives in raging seas. We would give another million bucks to Michael J. Tougias for putting into words this amazing story and so many others that are well worth reading. They are priceless.

A Storm Too Soon A True Story of Disaster Survival and an Incredible Rescue Michael J Tougias 9781451683332 Books Reviews

This was one of the 5 books I have recently read by Tougias, his detailed descriptions of everything that happens almost minute to minute and the translation of witnesses to the events to your mind is so vivid that you think you are actually there in the scene, I have a new profound respect for our heroes of the coast guard because of Tougias, I found myself wishing I was years younger so I could be a part of something this magnificent in bravery to save another's life.
Well-written story of man against the elements, in this case 70-130 foot waves in the dark destroying their sail boat. Did you know that one ship a week disappears into the ocean? You can see videos of the rescue on YouTube. Great adventure reading.
gripping tale of rescue on the high seas. the author, quite skillfully grabs the reader's attention and never lets go. as an added treat there is independent footage of the actual rescue on YouTube, but my advice is to not watch it until the reader has finished the book. the video footage will have a much more significant meaning and impact.
Guys can sure tell a whale of a tale! Rescue swimmer, Derek Dazzo did not get all the accolades he deserves and I hope he is fully recovered by now.

If he never does another rescue, he goes down as one of the most inspiring men I have ever had the chance to come across. (I can't swim and have committed to learn this year). If he does not get a Citizens medal for his inhuman efforts, no one should.

The very best to you. If I were a member of the armed forces, I'd salute you.
I stayed up until 530 a.m. to finish this book. What happens is almost unbelievable. The survivors embody the best of humanity. The Coast Guard, well, I had respect for them before this book since I live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but this story puts their search and rescue teams into a mythical level of courage, professionalism and makes them all heroes in my opinion. If you want a cliffhanger that keeps you reading on, this is the book for you. Of course, I hope no one gets into a perilous position at sea, but if it were me, and I knew the Coasties were coming, I would say prayers of gratitude before I even heard or saw the helicopter. Truly amazing!
This book is so well-written that it kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the last! This wasn't just a book about men in peril, but it was also about the incredible training that goes into the Coast Guard Search and Rescue people. You are there in the boat with the men who are caught in the nightmare of 80 foot waves being tossed about like a ping pong ball and their narrow escape when it ultimately sinks. The men who are sent to rescue them had never seen anything like the "storm" (which may have been better described as a hurricane), and how the swimmer barely made it out with his life. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
I am a huge fan of non-fiction tales of rescue, derring-do, and adventure. This one is at the top of the pile, as far as my expectations of what is promised goes. Michael J. Tougias is to be lauded for this story. It is one thing to write of the actual rescue feat, it is quite another to add the background of each character, each piece of history, each task of rescue, and to include the physical and spiritual aspects of the sea itself.. Tougias delivers. I feel as if I now have many new friends; the sailors, the Coast Guard crews, the spirit of the Gulf Stream. My brother, now 69, was rescued by the Coast Guard when he was 5, along with my father and god-father, when their 28-foot sea skiff lost all power and drifted more than 24 hours in the Atlantic off the New Jersey coast. Needless to say, Jack joined up when he was 18 and served more than 5 years with the Coast Guard until a spinal injury forced his retirement from active duty. So any rescue adventure that shows the heroism of that branch of the armed services gets my attention. Short story This is a very good read!
My husband said he wanted to read this book slowly because he didn't want the story to end. If we were billionaires, we would give each member of the Coast Guard a million bucks for their courage and bravery in saving lives in raging seas. We would give another million bucks to Michael J.
