In one of the most remote parts of the Pacific Ocean a small dot floated nearly invisible in the moonless black night. As dawn approached, tropical squalls further obscured this dot, now barely visible even a few feet away. No one was there to see that this dot was a man's head bobbing just above the surface of the inky black water of the desolate Central Pacific. Adrift for hours, he had been working on the problem of how to survive. No life raft, no water, no food, no supplies, in fact, not even the wreckage of the Haleakala remained in the empty sea around him. Any hope of rescue depended on his experience, intelligence, & most importantly, his innate spirit. Although he knew this was most likely his last dawn, Charley had never recognized the word "Impossible." Shipwrecked & adrift, he accepted the challenge to survive as the greatest & most crucial test of his life. What he did & what others did to make ultimate rescue possible against all odds is this enthralling story of survival.
