In "Trawler", Redmond O'Hanlon describes his most dangerous journey yet - on a trawler sailing from Stromness to Greenland. With a two million pound overdraft, captain Jason and his crew of six have to take the boat out in a Force 12 (junior hurricane). And unable to fish the North Sea or Icelandic waters their journeys are becoming ever longer and more dangerous, in search of ever stranger fish. O'Hanlon's book provides an account of danger, camaraderie, Greenland halibut, exotic seabirds, enormous fry-ups and a slightly mad - and very scared - English scientist set down among half-a-dozen tough Scotsmen.

Redmond O'Hanlon was born in Dorset, the son of a vicar, in 1947. He did a doctoral thesis at Oxford on nature in the English novel, and for 15 years was the natural history editor of the TLS. His highly acclaimed travel books are all in Penguin: Into the Heart of Borneo, IN TROUBLE AGAIN and CONGO JOURNEY. He lives near Witney in Oxfordshire.
