This was a riveting read. In light of the fact that they had satellite weather, GPS and 2-way radio communication this ship was 'chased' by Hurricane Mitch. The storm changed directions as the ship moved to outmaneuver the storm. It's chilling, exciting and uniquely sad because 31 lives were lost. It's also a historical X-Ray of a company, post-mortem. This company was on the edge financially, before the storm. Read the book.
