Books with author Steve Callaghan

When Steven Callahan's small sloop sank west of the Canary Islands, he found himself adrift in the Atlantic in a five-foot inflatable raft, with only enough food and water for 18 days. Finally, out of flares and out of the shipping lanes, his only hope was to try to float to the Caribbean, clear across the Atlantic to the south and west, hundreds of miles away. On the 75th day he spotted land. In 76 days he had drifted 1800 miles, the only man in history to have survived more than a month alone at sea in an inflatable raft. "There are many tales of survival, but ADRIFT is 20,000 leagues better than the rest." (Kirkus Reviews) Slightly edited for radio presentation.

Before The Perfect Storm, before In the Heart of the Sea, Steven Callahan’s Adrift chronicled one of the most astounding voyages of the century and one of the great sea adventures of all time. In some ways the model for the new wave of adventure books, Adrift is now an undeniable seafaring classic, a riveting firsthand account by the only man known to have survived for more than a month alone at sea, fighting for his life in an inflatable raft after his small sloop capsized only six days from port. Racked by hunger, buffeted by storms, scorched by the tropical sun, Callahan drifted for 1,800 miles, fighting off sharks with a makeshift spear and watching as nine ships passed him by. “A real human drama that delves deeply into man’s survival instincts” (Library Journal), Adrift is a story of anguish and horror, of undying heroism, hope, and survival, and a must-read for any adventure lover. “An utterly absorbing saga.” - Newsweek “Fascinating…a clearly written ocean yarn in which the stakes are high and a brave man wins through.” - Wall Street Journal

Excerpt from The Little Green GateWhite and creeper-clad, built half -way up a wooded hill, and facing south with an open View of mping meadow-land in front of it, and beyond that a shining strip of sea. The house is of many roofs, set at all angles, and made up Of all dim, subdued colours, tiles mellowed with age. It stands in a garden, slanting in front, in terraced levels behind it. This front garden is a neat affair, set beds shaped into stars and crescents with gay, orderly flowers therein - geranium edged.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
