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.

Great read

My biggest struggle was not listening to it but coming back to it. And because I liked the stories, I'm guessing the issue was that it's pretty depressing and you can feel quite powerless. But even ostriches don't really hide their heads when there's trouble and neither should we. It's an important matter that concerns all of us.
The performance is perfect. I listened with 1.6x speed and it was perfectly clear at all times. Great voice.
Fascinating stories about an unsexy topic

Great but has misleading info

-That bag of frozen shrimp from Indonesia or Viet Nam you bought at the grocery store has about a 20% chance of having been harvested by slaves. Slaves who live in inhuman conditions that are life-threatening, and where murder of crew members isn't unknown.
-That once you take your boat 25 miles off shore, there are literally no rules. This lawlessness is making the oceans a dead zone and a haven for human rights violations. Also some pretty scary war games.
Urbina's approach is to go directly on these ships whenever possible, so the visceral descriptions of what it's like to sleep two inches under the behind of a colleague that hasn't washed in two weeks, but inches above the rats and fish guts, makes this book readable and compelling.
Do you know where your frozen shrimp comes from?
