- "The Last Whale Watch": A gifted engineer, fired for insubordination within the factory system of an interstellar corporation, chooses to rebel and construct a vehicle which will dazzle the known universe.
- "72nd Street": An artist and an actress venture to New York seeking their fortunes. A number of obstacles trip them up, even jeopardizing their lives.
- "The Stuntman": An aging stunt performer, after years of recovering from crippling injuries, attempts a comeback.
- "August Storm": With his life in turmoil, an out-of-work hardware clerk is given an opportunity to win back his estranged wife.
- "Spoils of War": Even in a war, army officers seek ill-gotten pleasure in taking advantage of a defenseless young girl.
- "Deadly Passage": A wandering sailor seeks revenge against a gangster responsible for the disappearance of his sweetheart, possibly being used in a prostitution racket.
- "Bread": Two adventurous writers meet after sailing their vessels to Baja, Mexico. They look for inspiration in the taverns they frequent where unique individuals provide curious material to dwell on.
- "My Aunt Betty": She’s attracted to men in uniform. The aunt looks for companionship among the military (she loves to dance) and finds a marine master sergeant, whom she marries.
- "Prison Break": A brief account refers to the desperation an older person might feel enduring a lonely captivity in a rest home.

- "Death on Helena Drive": The sad passing of, many believe, one of the most popular movie stars ever. Questions remain long after her death.

After 10 years of living life on the edge, it was hard for Doc Ford to get that addiction to danger out of his system. But spending each day watching the sun melt into Dinkins Bay and the moon rise over the mangrove trees, cooking dinner for his beautiful neighbor, and dispensing advice to the locals over a cold beer lulled him into letting his guard down.

It starts with the dogs. They won’t stop barking. And then the earth shrugs - 8.9 on the Richter scale. It’s the world’s biggest earthquake since Lisbon in 1755, and it doesn’t hit California or Japan or Mexico, but New Madrid, Missouri, a sleepy town on the Mississippi River. Seismologists had predicted the scope of the disaster - but no one listened. For hundreds of miles around, dams burst, engulfing entire counties in tidal waves of mud and debris. Within minutes, there is nothing but chaos and ruin from St. Louis to Vicksburg, from Kansas City to Louisville.

In January 2012, having covered a Somali pirate trial in Hamburg for Spiegel Online International, Michael Scott Moore traveled to the Horn of Africa to write about piracy and ways to end it. In a terrible twist of fate, Moore himself was kidnapped and subsequently held captive by Somali pirates for 977 days. Yet Moore’s own struggle is only part of the story: The Desert and the Sea falls at the intersection of reportage, memoir, and history.
