Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A riveting, adrenaline-fueled tour of a vast, lawless, and rampantly criminal world that few have ever seen: the high seas.
There are few remaining frontiers on our planet. But perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world's oceans: too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these immense regions of treacherous water play host to rampant criminality and exploitation.
Traffickers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men, vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound abortion providers, clandestine oil-dumpers, shackled slaves and cast-adrift stowaways—drawing on five years of perilous and intrepid reporting, often hundreds of miles from shore, Ian Urbina introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world. Through their stories of astonishing courage and brutality, survival and tragedy, he uncovers a globe-spanning network of crime and exploitation that emanates from the fishing, oil, and shipping industries, and on which the world's economies rely.
Both a gripping adventure story and a stunning exposé, this unique work of reportage brings fully into view for the first time the disturbing reality of a floating world that connects us all, a place where anyone can do anything because no one is watching.

- premium: True

- content: Jason Culp's crisp narration matches the journalistic tone of Urbina's audiobook, but this is not a dense, dry stream of facts. Urbina's work focuses on the murky, complicated nature of international maritime law, often absent or unenforced, and the brutal environmental injustice at sea that results. Listeners should prepare for a vivid, often jarring listening experience. Urbina reports from ship decks while vessels are in pursuit of illegal fishing boats. In other passages, he risks danger searching for criminal captains guilty of enslaving crew members. Commercial cruise ships are found dumping oil illegally; crew members are dumped in rafts and left to die in the open ocean; Somalian pirates are ever present. Culp's delivery is clear and direct, matching the unsettling nature of Urbina's comprehensive reporting. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
