Story
Deadliest Sea by Kalee Thompson is the spellbinding true story of the greatest rescue in US Coast Guard history. Recounting the tragic sinking of the fishing trawler, Alaska Ranger, in the Bering Sea and its remarkable aftermath in March 2008, Deadliest Sea is real-life action and adventure at its finest. The full story of an amazing rescue - where extraordinary courage, ingenuity, will, and technology combined in one of the most remarkable maritime feats ever recorded - has never been told before now. It’s The Perfect Storm meets Deadliest Catch.

Story
When the fishing vessel La Conte sinks suddenly at night in 100-mile-per-hour winds and record 90-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.

Story
In late September 2015, Hurricane Joaquin swept past the Bahamas and swallowed a pair of cargo vessels in its destructive path: El Faro, a 790-foot American behemoth with a crew of 33, and the Minouche, a 230-foot freighter with a dozen sailors aboard. From the parallel stories of these ships and their final journeys, Tristram Korten weaves a remarkable tale of two veteran sea captains from very different worlds, the harrowing ordeals of their desperate crews, and the Coast Guard’s extraordinary battle against a storm that defied prediction.

Whether they are rescuing citizens injured and freezing in the Alaskan wilderness or saving wounded Rangers and SEALs in blazing firefights at war, the PJs are the least known and most highly trained of America's warriors.

Army Capt. Jordan Armstrong surrendered a piece of her soul to the burning sands of Afghanistan. Now back home, only two things keep her going: her demanding job as a Search and Rescue pilot and sailing her 45-foot yacht around the coast of McKinley Point, Western Australia-alone. Plenty of women have tried to reach behind her walls, but Jordan remains aloof. When American expat Sara Matthews shows up in her life and takes an instant dislike to her, it sets her heart on fire. For the first time in what feels like forever, Jordan truly wants to be seen and understood.

The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.

The first journalist to be embedded with an Air Force combat unit in the war on terrorism, Hirsh flew from Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, with the 71st Rescue Squadron to their expeditionary headquarters at a secret location in Central Asia. Unparalleled access to the pararescue jumpers - or PJs - as well as to the courageous men and women who fly them where they have to go, often under enemy fire, allowed Michael Hirsh to uncover incredible stories of courage.

Publisher's Summary
So Others May Live: Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers: Saving Lives, Defying Death is the award-winning untold story of the US Coast Guard's quiet but resolute rescue swimmers.

In startlingly clear and exceptional writing, Martha LaGuardia-Kotite tells 12 heroic stories of the greatest maritime rescues attempted since the program began in 1985. These feats, told through the eyes of the heroes, reveal an understanding of how and why the rescuer, with flight-crew assistance, risks his or her own life to reach out to save a stranger.
Covering diverse environments - oceans, hurricanes, oil rigs, caves, sinking vessels, floods, and even Niagara Falls, So Others May Live is truly a can't-stop-listening collection.

Good content, poor delivery in parts
This book is broken up into 2 parts: chapters about rescues and chapters about the evolution of Coast Guard rescue swimmers. The content in both are good but I wouldn't be surprised if most people - like me - enjoyed the rescue stories more than the history of the rescue swimmer program. So far so good. The producers decided to hire a professional to narrate the rescue stories and use one of the authors to narrate the program history sections. This is where things go bad. The professional narrator does a great job. The author does not. Frankly, it is amateurish. There are pauses in the middle of sentences, presumably where line breaks were in the script she was reading from. Unbelievably there were several double-takes of pronouncing a word. Surely this could be edited out and rerecorded. For some reason this wasn't done. The tone, emotion and flow just were up to the standard produced by professional narrators. They really should have used Jim Cooper to narrate the whole book. Even so, it is listenable and as I say above the content is there and the delivery of the rescue stories is well done so if you are interested in search and rescue or Coast Guard rescue swimmers in particular this is worth a listen.

Great story poor narration
Great stories and information enjoyed the book. but the woman narrator was terrible. very hesitant and unenthused, Poor recording quality sounds like she was recorded in a hallway on a tape recorder . very annoying to listen to she reads ever other chapter. The man narrator does a much better job and was recorded in a studio.

Terrible performance; amazing story
The author brought us a well written and important account of true heroism. However, for the same reason we use actors to retell stories because the real people cannot act (it detracts from the story and it’s impact and distribution), we use voice actors when authors would do the same harm to their own books.
On a $10 microphone in her den, with unlistenable stilted narration, the author reads significant passages where she stumbles over words, takes long, long pauses, and turns the pages she’s reading off of audibly.
This bothers me because of how powerful her writing and her story are. This book became a movie and is widely acclaimed. It deserves a professional presentation for the same reason we expect neat type-written pages in books, not someone’s sloppy handwriting.
The other professional reader is okay but really should not have tried what he seems to think is an English accent. It isn’t.

One narrator is a pro, the other not so much
The author isn’t nearly as good as she needs to be for an audio book. She reads so sporadically that it’s difficult to follow. I ended up skipping all her parts in the last 2/3 of the book. But other than that this is a fantastic read. Explains things very well and is easy to follow And picture in your mind.
Would recommend to anyone looking for stories of real people (heroes) in extraordinary situations.

Woman Narrator Is Awful!
This is a wonderful story, but you’re better off reading it than listening to it. Seriously! There are two narrators; I didn’t particularly care for the man’s accent, but it was tolerable. However, the woman reader was awful. Very dry and boring! Why have such a good book, and not pay for good, professional narrators? I could only listen for a short time. I’ll read it on my Kindle, instead!

By far, the Katrina incident chapter was my favorite. The whole book/audio is well done. Tom did a great job engaging the audience, adding an appropriate level of drama as needed. While I read the book several years ago, I found the audio storytelling a definite plus.
Highly recommend especially for Coast Guard or those that would be!
