A fisherman's worst nightmare has become a Coast Guard crew's desperate mission. As the crew of the \u003ci\u003eLa Conte\u003c\/i\u003e begin to die one by one, those sworn to watch over them risk everything to pull off the rescue of the century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpike Walker's memoir of his years as a deckhand in Alaska, \u003ci\u003eWorking on the Edge\u003c\/i\u003e, was hailed by James A.
