When the fishing vessel La Conte sinks suddenly at night in one-hundred-mile-per-hour winds and record ninety-foot seas during a savage storm in January 1998, her five crewmen are left to drift without a life raft in the freezing Alaskan waters and survive as best they can.One hundred fifty miles away, in Sitka, Alaska, an H-60 Jayhawk helicopter lifts off from America's most remote Coast Guard base in the hopes of tracking down an anonymous Mayday signal. A fisherman's worst nightmare has become a Coast Guard crew's desperate mission. As the crew of the La Conte begin to die one by one, those sworn to watch over them risk everything to pull off the rescue of the century.Spike Walker's memoir of his years as a deckhand in Alaska, Working on the Edge, was hailed by James A. Michner as "masterful . . . will become the definitive account of this perilous trade, an addition to the literature of the sea." In Coming Back Alive, Walker has crafted his most devastating book to date. Meticulously researched through hundreds of hours of taped interviews with the survivors, this is the true account of the La Conte's final voyage and the relationship between Alaskan fishermen and the search and rescue crews who risk their lives to save them.

I first read this book as a paperback around 2003. The story is compelling, and having grown up in Alaska and still living here it gripped me all the way through. This, along with many other stories including a few the author touches on as he tells the story of the La Conte, show why the USCG is such an appreciated and loved group of rescuers in Alaska, and gives the reader a real look inside how dangerous their job is.This book is good enough I find myself revisiting it every couple years for another read through, and I long ago gave my well worn paperback to a friend who had never read it (and loved it), so I now use the Kindle Edition.
