One windy, November day, a cry for help comes into the Coast Guard Station in St. Ignace, Michigan. A plane has crashed on Mackinac Island and it's up to The Guardians of the Straits to answer the call. The Coasties quickly rush to their motor lifeboat, along with their newest and most fearless crewmember, Onyx the dog, leading the way. After a harrowing boat ride in gale winds and dangerously high waves, the Coasties still have to fight their way through the debris on the island to look for survivors. What they find in the wreckage surprises everyone but Onyx, who proves to be a hero once again.

Book Description
"Autumn gales have pursued mariners across the Great Lakes for centuries. On Friday, November 7, 1913, those gales captured their prey. After four days of winds up to 90 miles an hour, freezing temperatures, whiteout blizzard conditions, and mountainous seas, 19 ships had been lost, two dozen had been thrown ashore, 238 sailors were dead, and the city of Cleveland was confronting the worst natural disaster in its history. Writer and mariner David G. Brown combines narrative intensity with factual depth to re-create the events of the "perfect storm" that struck America's heartland."--Publisher's description

Book Description
The summer of 1975 promised excitement and adventure for twin brothers and college students Mike and Mark, working aboard the greatest ship on the Great Lakes-the Edmund Fitzgerald. She was a 729-foot-long behemoth that had been carrying freight the lakes for nearly 20 years; the twins were seeking first-hand knowledge and experience for their chosen field of engineering. But when the November gales blow, it means deadly danger to any ship on the Great Lakes. As fate would have it, the twins are separated for the November 10th trip... the final voyage of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
