Seized: A Sea Captain's Adventures Battling Scoundrels and Pirates While Recovering Stolen Ships in the World's Most Troubled Waters ReviewCaptain Hardberger is a very unique and driven man! He is licensed to serve as Captain on any oceangoing merchant ship, he's a flying instructor, and has passed the Bar Exam in California, certainly a unique set of credentials. Based on this book, he applies the energy and dedication it would take to acquire such a varied skill set to every task he undertakes as a professional. The book reads as a series of stories about different situations, mostly involving something to do with a ship being held in port illegitimately or through corruption (one story involves slipping several dozen cropdusting planes out of East Germany in the chaotic days just before German reunification). He gives us a lot of insight into the details of how merchant ships do business in a wide variety of ports, and the problems this creates both for the ships and for the merchants and service providers who tend to their needs. These are very readable, and really do seem like something from Mission Impossible in some cases.
Less obvious is the darker side of his life--The relationships in his life suffer because he is continually traveling overseas, and is frequently in imminent peril of being imprisoned. And often he has difficulty getting paid or the men his clients hire to help him don't get paid, or get paid a pittance after risking death or imprisonment to get someone else's big-money asset out. A significant number of the ships he rescues are lost at sea or otherwise go out of service only a couple of years after his involvement with them.
It wasn't "Gripping" in the sense that I was lost in his world hanging on every word, but it is well-written and I kept reading. I finished the book in one evening with a couple of short breaks. Usually he explains technical or professional matters adequately, but in a handful of cases he referred to things where I didn't know what he was talking about (and as a naval history buff I'm more attuned to nautical matters than most landlubbers).
Strongly recommended as an entertaining read, but it won't rock your world.Seized: A Sea Captain's Adventures Battling Scoundrels and Pirates While Recovering Stolen Ships in the World's Most Troubled Waters Overview
