Warner Free Lecture ~ Michael Tougias In Deep Water

Michael Tougias
In Deep Water

When their boat sinks 12 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico, three friends must survive 28 hours in open water—facing eight-foot waves, jellyfish stings, hypothermia, and circling sharks. With no Mayday call sent and no one aware they’re missing, the odds of rescue are less than 1%. In Deep Water chronicles one of the most improbable rescues in Coast Guard history—and the extraordinary resilience of the men who lived to tell it. Tougias tells the story from both the perspective of the Coast Guard members such as Jayhawk helicopter Kate Caraway and rescue swimmer Clark Hoefle who search for the missing men, as well as from the survivors themselves.

Bestselling author Michael Tougias is known for his riveting, character-driven accounts of survival and rescue at sea, including The Finest Hours, Ten Hours Until Dawn, and Overboard!. In Deep Water delivers that same fast-paced, emotionally powerful narrative his fans expect. The story also taps into the public’s enduring fascination with real-life survival stories with hopeful endings.
