A A Speck in the Sea by John Aldridge
The harrowing adventure-at-sea memoir recounting the 2013 search-and-rescue mission for lost Montauk fisherman John Aldridge - first a New York Times Magazine feature story, now in priority development as a major motion picture from The Weinstein Company.
A Speck in the Sea is a terrific read-harrowing and inspiring at the same timeIn the end it's a moving testament both to our individual will to survive and to our collective will to come to the aid of others in distress. I couldn't put it down. * Daniel James Brown, author of The Boys in the Boat *
Sometimes being a hero means just hanging on and having faith--which is exactly what John Aldridge and Anthony Sosinski did on July 24, 2013. This is an amazing tale of survival, family, community, and friendship from two true American originals. * Paul Tough, New York Magazine *
A robust portrait of working-class Montauk, the Long Island community... richly detailed. * Kirkus Review *
A rich backstory-including complicated personal lives and deep family histories-adds depth to this page turner. * Publishers Weekly *
This absolutely riveting book follows the increasingly desperate (and, at times, disorganized) rescue efforts as well as Aldridge's own odyssey (How does a man facing near-certain death keep himself believing he might survive?)... the book is... captivating. * Booklist *
