Book Preview: #1 On a moonless Sunday morning in June 1993, a single police car drove east along the central road of the Rockaway Peninsula. At the western tip, the officers saw a ship dangerously close to shore. They heard the first screams from out across the water.

#2 Somma and Divivier were on the beach with the four Asian men, who were hysterical and pointing in the direction of the ship. They heard more screams from the ocean.

#3 Wells radioed his station and requested more help. The tide was coming in, and a strong westerly crosscurrent was pulling the people in the water down along the shoreline. The officers ventured into the water and pulled people from the shallows, dragging them onto the shore.

#4 As the first responders in New York and New Jersey began to hear about the ship, the Golden Venture, which was packed with what appeared to be illegal aliens who could not swim, began to drift towards the Atlantic Coast.
