Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peleg Nye first shipped out on a New Bedford whaler in 1834, a green young sailor from Cape Cod. By 1865, Nye was a veteran whaler, the first mate of the George W. Lewis. As first mate, Nye was responsible for firing an explosive lance to kill harpooned whales. It was dangerous work at the best of times, but on this particular trip, disaster struck. The whale hit the prow of Nye's small whaleboat, sending him over the side and into the animal's mouth. Dying, the whale slipped beneath the surface, Nye's legs protruding between its teeth. This should have been the end of Peleg Nye. But thanks to Providence, his Captain's makeshift medical skills, and sheer luck, Nye survived. He returned home an immediate celebrity, the "Jonah of Cape Cod." The next year, he was back at sea, commanding four more whaling voyages over the next five years. Long known only through oral history, Nye's story is historical fact, brought to life through the meticulous research of writer Nils V. Bockmann who reveals the intricate world of eighteenth-century whalers and the dangerous industry they served.

Book excerpt: A story of tragedy at sea where every desperate act meant life or death The small ship making the Liverpool-to-New York trip in the early months of 1856 carried mail, crates of dry goods, and more than one hundred passengers, mostly Irish emigrants. Suddenly an iceberg tore the ship asunder and five lifeboats were lowered. As four lifeboats drifted into the fog and icy water, never to be heard from again, the last boat wrenched away from the sinking ship with a few blankets, some water and biscuits, and thirteen souls. Only one would survive. This is his story. As they started their nine days adrift more than four hundred miles off Newfoundland, the castaways--an Irish couple and their two boys, an English woman and her daughter, newlyweds from Ireland, and several crewmen, including Thomas W. Nye from Fairhaven, Massachusetts--began fighting over food and water. One by one, though, day by day, they died. Some from exposure, others from madness and panic. In the end, only Nye and the ship's log survived. Using Nye's firsthand descriptions and later newspaper accounts, ship's logs, assorted diaries, and family archives, Brian Murphy chronicles the horrific nine days that thirteen people suffered adrift on the cold gray Atlantic. Adrift brings readers to the edge of human limits, where every frantic decision and desperate act is a potential life saver or life taker.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans may have reached the top of the food chain, but the world is still teeming with apex predators who retain the advantage in their own environments, and sometimes venture into ours, especially when they have gained a taste for human blood. Survivors, hunters, and witnesses recall first-hand accounts of hair-raising, fatal encounters with massive and dangerous beasts of the wild, describing the often rapid and unstoppable series of events that result in devastation and serve to bolster the legends of the world’s flesh-hungry maneaters. Relentless wolves and rogue elephants, swarms of fire ants and vicious sharks, ruthless panthers, grizzly bears, crocodiles, and even human cannibals—all have taken their toll on unsuspecting travelers.
