Book Cover & Preview Text
Thu was as fearless then as she was later on, as we hunted for lobsters among the reefs. During one dive, she handed him the dive knife she was carrying and then reached into a coral cavern to pull out a lobster that had backed in and braced himself to prevent being harvested. They are more correctly referred to as langouste in the Caribbean, but everybody knew what you were talking about. The Footloose Forester would normally put speared or stabbed lobsters into his net bag, but this one was too big for the bag. Also, he discovered that he was fighting a live lobster that he thought had been stabbed. It hadn't!
