Jumps around a bit, but remains compelling. ( ) Norwegian journalists, Eskil Engdal and Kjetil Saeter, spent over two years digging into Sea Shepherds chase after 'Thunder', the rogue fishing vessel that was poaching 'white gold' - Chilean Tooth Fish - inside conservation areas of the Antarctic. The journalists spent time in just about every continent putting together a harrowing tale of how organized crime, forgery, money laundering, bureaucracy and bribery has let Galician mafia profit and escape prosecution for so long. The record-breaking chase by Sea Shepherd after Thunder is the terrific centrepiece to this very well researched and well written book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
December, 2014: In the forbidding waters off Antarctica, Captain Hammarstedt of the Bob Barker sets off on a voyage unlike any seen before. Across ten thousand miles of hazardous seas, Hammarstedt's crew will relentlessly pursue the Thunder - an infamous illegal fishing ship - for what will become the longest chase in maritime history. Wanted by Interpol, the Thunder has for years evaded justice: hunting endangered species and accumulating millions in profits. The authors follow this incredible expedition from the beginning. But even as seasoned journalists, they cannot anticipate what the chase will uncover, as the wake of the Thunder leads them on the trail of criminal kingpins, rampant corruption, modern slavery and an international community content to turn a blind eye. Very soon, catching Thunder becomes not only a chase but a pursuit of the truth itself - and a symbolic race to preserve the well-being of our planet. A Scandinavian bestseller, Catching Thunder is a remarkable true story of courage and perseverance, and a wake-up call to act against the destruction of our environments.
