Neither Timid Nor Reckless

A stormy sea. A wayward war.

And a sailor's story of survival against the odds.

When San Diego surfer Thomas "Rocky" Tomlinson shipped off for Vietnam in the late sixties, he never imagined that his "endless summer" would soon turn into an "endless nightmare." He is haunted by vicious visions of war. But then, over one hundred rocket and artillery attacks later, Rocky decided if the Vietnam war didn't kill him, then maybe his next venture would-commercial fishing.

As Rocky and his crew survive problematic pirates, dire drownings, and big bears, each one of his many lives is more enthralling than the next. And just when it seems like Rocky is about to meet his maker, he escapes disaster once again.

With more than just his own life at stake, Rocky has to contemplate the unimaginable-whether it's worth it to weather a storm or save his crew's life. Traveling the world with his wife, Jessie Tomlinson, brings him on addictive adventures through Panama, El Salvador, Mexico, Italy, and more.

Through multiple volcano explosions in a day, Rocky finds a way to weave comedy, tragedy, and adventure into one wonderful retelling of a sailor's life well-lived. But Rocky's not the only one to tell the tale-his friends and family are full of sailor stories too.

Introducing the incredibly inspiring new action-adventure story from "your favorite pirate"-you won't be able to put this gripping thriller down until you're through!
