Critical Praise
"An amazing story. . . . Inevitably, people will compare this book to The Perfect Storm. I think Sudden Sea may well be better. . . . What more can I tell you? Buy this book."
-Anthony Brandt, National Geographic Adventure
"Scotti clearly did extensive research into the storm, and exhibits a real affection for the territory it ravaged. Her prose is lucid and clean, and the storm itself commands remembrance."
-Erik Larson, Boston Globe
"Sudden Sea is riveting, carefully researched and superbly written. R. A. Scotti has done a wonderful job, not only in casting her tale in empathetic human terms but also in placing it solidly in a historical and social milieu."
-Chris Patsilelis, Houston Chronicle
"Excellent. . . . Written in a dramatic but accessible tone that reveals Scotti's background as a novelist, the book gives new terror to the term 'storm surge,' when the ocean becomes a wall of water, destroying everything in its path."
