À propos de cet audio

In Matt Riordan’s debut novel, a college student in need of quick money finds work on an Alaskan fishing boat in the unforgiving Bering Sea.

The North Line is a ruggedly erudite story that combines the best of the individualism of Jack London with the introspective ruminations of Raymond Carver...not to be missed.” (S.A. Cosby, New York Times best-selling author of All the Sinners Bleed)

“A frightening story of tough men pushed to the brink. The novel is captivating, occasionally funny, and startling. I couldn’t put it down.” (David Sedaris)

Even at the ragged edge of civilization, some lines should not be crossed.

Everyone believes Adam to be something he’s not. Sometimes that’s because he’s told them a story. Sometimes he’s told himself one. But when Adam joins an Alaskan fishing crew that’s promising quick money, the dangerous work and harsh lifestyle strip away all fabrications and force a dark-hearted exploration of who he really is.

On the unforgiving Bering Sea, Adam finds the adventure and authenticity of a fisherman’s life revelatory. The labor required to seize bounty from the ocean invigorates him, and the often crude comradery accompanies a welcome, hard-earned wisdom. But when a strike threatens the entire season and violence stalks the waves, Adam is thrust into a struggle for survival at the edge of the world, where evolutionary and social forces collide for outcomes beyond anyone’s control.

In his riveting debut novel, Matt Riordan pairs personal experiences with a master storyteller’s eye in a piercing examination of the quest for identity in the face of tempests within and without.

Not a tonne happens in this story… there’s no big plot or story here. It’s the tale of a guy trying his (desperate) hand at commercial fishing and all its dangers & risks to make enough cash to make tuition after losing his scholarship.
Well told and well narrated

A solid adventure story told well

Did not expect such an ending!!

Besides the ending, the book was really well written. The author has a way with words that made me feel like I really was on a fishing boat in the arctic.

I liked the colourful cast of characters, especially Nash. Who wouldn't like Nash?

I loved this book. It was an original story and well told.

Not great - deleted a few chapters into the book. Not something I am interested in listening to.

Don't bother
