Synopsis
Published in hardcover to tremendous acclaim, The Fisherman's Son tells the tale of Neil Kruger, who, lost at sea off the northern California coast, retreats from his fear by recalling scenes from his Half Moon Bay childhood. Through vivid memories of his father -- a commercial fisherman who can predict storms by looking at the stars -- his enigmatic mother, and the hard lives of the warm, witty fellow fishermen who keep a struggling industry alive, Neil's story is an enthralling tale that illuminates our lifelines to childhood and the irresistible lure of the sea.

Review
"Brilliantly written and mesmerically evocative, Köepf's extraordinary novel is a tribute to tough men and their long-suffering, and sometimes
not-so-long-suffering, families."
--The Los Angeles Times
--The Oregonian "Imagine Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm without its long-winded passages or the dry-as-toast science. That's what you get with Michael Köepf's powerful and poignant novel."
--The Denver Post "The memories and flashbacks that compose the bulk of the book display a remarkable diversity. They range through adventures on the high seas, coming-of-age tales, family dramas, and some absolutely superb descriptions of the daily work on a fishing boat. . . . My eight-year-old son, who insisted I read to him all the shipwreck scenes, listened wide-eyed, gulping, utterly enthralled."
--The San Francisco Chronicle
