Ballard Redoubt

John M Hamilton

Ballard Redoubt is a novel about neighborhood, friendship and love. Three ex-fishermen navigate the moralities of life on shore in mid-nineties Seattle. One young man is drawn away from his family's fishing business by the lures of the city. Another, a shop steward in a Teamster strike, grapples with duties to family, coworkers and even to his boss. And the third, a towboat captain, is at once the defender of tradition and the embodiment of chaos itself. Fast and readable, it will leave you smelling of diesel and tasting of saltwater.
