It's a story of a world peopled by those who often live on the frayed edges of society, who shun the world in which most people thrive. It's a story in which college students and \"fish hippies\" work in canneries alongside survivalists, rednecks, religious freaks, and deckhands with damning secrets in dangerous waters, driven by the need to feed an insatiable appetite for adventure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the heart of the world Atcheson found himself in at the age of eighteen.

Forced to buddy up with a murderer in order to cope, Atcheson began to question his deeply ingrained ideas of success and status. The resulting conflict would finally resolve itself fifteen years later, in the least likely of places: on the Bering Sea, aboard a boat in peril, during a night of terror that would reshape the lives of everyone involved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReminiscent of \u003ci\u003eThe Perfect Storm\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInto the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDead Reckoning\u003c\/i\u003e is not only an intimate look at life at sea but also an insider's view into one of Alaska's small communities and the myriad of upstarts, dropouts, and rogues that color its landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510720732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Dave Atcheson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44493233750197,"sku":"9781510720732","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5b03f145-478a-42c3-8a0a-10f229f9b61f.jpg?v=1721747631","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dead-reckoning-navigating-a-life-on-the-last-frontier-courting-tragedy-on-its-high-seas-9781510720732","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
