  <default-description>Before &lt;i&gt;The Perfect Storm&lt;/i&gt;, before &lt;i&gt;In the Heart of the Sea&lt;/i&gt;, Steven Callahan's dramatic tale of survival at sea was on the New York Times bestseller list for more than thirty-six weeks.  In some ways the model for the new wave of adventure books, &lt;i&gt;Adrift&lt;/i&gt; is an undeniable seafaring classic, a riveting firsthand account by the only man known to have survived more than a month alone at sea, fighting for his life in an inflatable raft after his small sloop capsized only six days out. &quot;Utterly absorbing&quot; (Newsweek), &lt;i&gt;Adrift&lt;/i&gt; is a must-have for any adventure library.</default-description>
