NORTH BY NORTHWESTERN A Seafaring Family on Deadly Alaskan Waters

Discovery Channel star Sig Hansen (“Deadliest Catch”) offers a compelling account of his Norwegian-American family’s history of fishing in the Bering Sea. It’s a story full of nail-biting tales of survival in one of the harshest places on the globe. Narrator Rick Adamson reads in a stern tone that projects the weight of the life-or-death moments recounted without attempting to recreate the fear that was surely present in the Hansen fishermen and their crews at the time. In a straightforward and honest narration, Adamson delivers the material with the utmost respect for the job and the individuals who risk their lives doing it.
