4.9/5 (20595 ratings)

Description:Preston Barfield is an upstanding small-family commercial fisherman whose vanishing way of life on the Gulf Coast of Florida pressures him into accepting an offer he can't refuse. When Preston gets a panicked call from his brother-in-law Lupino that his boat is on fire, he turns his shrimp trawler offshore to the rescue, only to find Lupino's burning boat filled with smugglers and marijuana. Hard times and desperation force his hand into adventures he never imagined. The "Forgotten Coast" is forgotten no longer in this riveting novel of plain folks on the edge. A major inside story of this culturally rich area is finally told. Potluck is a page-turning thriller about a decent captain who decides, in extremity, to take a big risk. It's the only realistic picture of small family commercial fishing on the Gulf Coast of Florida and the problems and temptations that confront it. Corrupt forces on all sides are pushing this stalwart breed of Americans into desperation or extinction. But they still do their best to feed us. If you've ever wondered what the lives are like behind the few fishing boats you still see along the coast, look no further. A rare look at the broad and surprising impacts of drug smuggling, misguided regulation and realtor greed along the coast. Author Rudloe is the pre-eminent conservationist of the Florida Gulf Coast, author of highly regarded naturalist books, and operator of the only independent (and thus frequently bureaucratically besieged) marine institute in the region. REVIEW: "Jack Rudloe's non-fiction account of living on the Gulf Coast, The Living Dock at Panacea, is a Florida classic that ranks with Cross Creek. In Potluck, Rudloe proves he can handle fiction with the same energy and insightful style."—Randy Wayne White (Shark River, Sanibel Flats)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
