Four Thousand Hooks

Dean Adams

"I relived my own past reading Four Thousand Hooks. The way Adams described seeing things for the first time through the eyes of a greenhorn crew member - the sights and smells, what it's like to really feel work and exhaustion, being on your own as a young man in Alaska - brought back memories I didn't know I had."
- Sig Hansen, Captain of the Northwestern as seen on Deadliest Catch
