The harrowing adventure-at-sea memoir recounting the heroic search-and-rescue mission for lost Montauk fisherman John Aldridge, which Daniel James Brown calls "A terrific read."

I am floating in the middle of the night, and nobody in the world even knows I am missing. Nobody is looking for me. You canīt get more alone than that. You canīt be more lost.

Iīve got too many people who love me. Thereīs no way Iīm dying like this.

In the dead of night on July 24, 2013, John Aldridge was thrown off the back of the Anna Mary while his fishing partner, Anthony Sosinski, slept below. As desperate hours ticked by, Sosinski, the families, the local fishing community, and the U.S. Coast Guard in three states mobilized in an unprecedented search effort that culminated in a rare and exhilarating success.

A tale of survival, perseverance, and community, A Speck in the Sea tells of one manīs struggle to survive as friends and strangers work to bring him home. Aldridgeīs wrenching first-person account intertwines with the narrative of the massive, constantly evolving rescue operation designed to save him.
"A Speck in the Sea is a terrific read--harrowing and inspiring at the same time. In the end itīs 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 couldnīt put it down."
-Daniel James Brown
