Hobbs, Will. Leaving Protection. NY: HarperCollens, 2004. 192 pages. (Mystery)Born on, an island “Port Protection” southwest of Juneau, Alaska’s Robbie Daniel starts a job as a deckhand fishing for salmon. He was working with the all time best fishing pro, Tor Torsen. Robbie spent time from dawn to dusk fishing for king salmon and some Cohoes, hoping to make some well needed money for his family back in Port Protection. It is all going well until Robbie finds out that Tor is illegally looking for metal plaques buried by Russian explorers to sell. The plaques (have a very high value in price), and this idea is starting to scare Robbie, who tries to survive at sea with storms and captain Tor. Robbie has to do all he can to keep his eyes of the plaques and focus on the sea.
I highly recommend this book because it is a great thriller. It gave you questions and asked then in with no question. It tells about fishing life and how they handle it. Fishing can be a riskly business.
