Summary: A Beautifully Crafted True Account
Review: Spike Walker has crafted a true account of the "World's Most Dangerous Occupation", fishing off Alaska's, beautiful, yet treacherous coast. Walker is first and foremost a writer. Sure he LIVED the life he writes about in "Coming Back Alive", but he doesn't merely describe the events. Walker's craftsmanship transports the reader to Alaska. You know the helicopter pilot. You feel the 70 foot waves as Walker, thankfully for the reader, allows us a glimpse into HIS world. What a world it is. There is majestic beauty, and the raw power of nature,and the courage of the men and women living in our "Last Frontier". The book is written as a tribute to those who tempt nature by fishing her waters and the bravery of the United States Coast Guard. It's about heroes, and the true "spirit of American Independence". You'll love this True Story by a real master wordsmith. As a talk show host I read hundreds of books and this is only the second review I've ever written on Amazon. I KNOW you'll love this book, and writers, read this to improve YOUR style. Walker is quite possibly the best writer alive today. Read COMING BACK ALIVE and see for yourself Erskine, host Erskine Overnight (Saturdays on Business Talk Radio)
