(  ) wesh | Sep 17, 2009 |  This was an interesting story of survival at sea. I enjoyed reading it and found it to be amazing account of how one man survived adrift in the ocean for a very long time. (  ) Jemima79 | Aug 16, 2009 | Great read (  ) ccsellers | Aug 3, 2009 | 9.0  Listener42 | Sep 1, 2008 | After the wreck of his ship, Steven Callahan escaped drowning by the use of an inflatable raft. But the hardships he suffered by surviving may have been worse. He was without clothes, sufficient food, water, or equipment, & had only the anguish of seeing ships passing several times, but overlooking him. Using his meager resources miraculously survived against incredible odds. (  ) theselkie | Apr 10, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0618257322, Paperback)Before The Perfect Storm, before In the Heart of the Sea, Steven Callahan's dramatic tale of survival at sea was on the New York Times bestseller list for more than thirty-six weeks. In some ways the model for the new wave of adventure books, Adrift is an undeniable seafaring classic, a riveting firsthand account by the only man known to have survived more than a month alone at sea, fighting for his life in an inflatable raft after his small sloop capsized only six days out. "Utterly absorbing" (Newsweek), Adrift is a must-have for any adventure library.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:52 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
