The have long been mariners’ tales of 100-foot rogue waves - gargantuan monsters that sink super-tankers in the blink of an eye.

But waves that high violate the laws of physics, so science has dismissed them as myth. Until now.

The action zips from Lloyds of London to rusty oil rigs, tropical Tahitian surf shacks to supercomputer data labs, as Casey juxtaposes the exploits of big-wave surfers against scientists’ urgent efforts to predict devastating rogue waves.

Like Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air, The Wave is an extraordinary story about man confronting nature at its most ferocious.
