Susan Casey’s new book, The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean, follows an elite band of surfers ( including world-champion pretty boy Laird Hamilton) as they search out humongous “rogue waves”, the holy grail for those looking to hang the ultimate ten. These waves, 100-feet tall or higher, seem to defy the laws of physics.
Casey also investigates the dark side of this phenomenon, believed to be responsible for the disappearance of a startling number of ocean tankers (and crews). She’ll be here this Friday, October 15th, at 8PM to read from her book and discuss what she calls “the most powerful force in nature.”
