"Nuka Bay"
A high school English teacher in search of adventure travels to Alaska to work on a commercial fishing boat and gets more than he bargained for.
An adventure thriller set in a commercial fishing boat off the coast of Alaska, “Nuka Bay” is a cross thematically between “The Perfect Storm” and “Deliverance”. It is the story of Jordan Plumley, a high school teacher who, after a near-death experience, decides to go in search of adventure.
A bolt of lightning ripped horizontally across the obscured western horizon, revealing a hulking figure now standing six feet in front of him. Where'd he come from? Jordan had thought the others - aside from Rex, who lay moaning, probably dying, in his bunk back in the main cabin—were either in the pilot cabin or below deck attending to the engines. Another flash of lightning revealed a leering face. In the cruel eyes Jordan saw hate - a hatred he found himself completely unequipped to comprehend, thereby rendering himself essentially defenseless.
