About this ebook
Not Without Hope is the true story of the headline-making tragedy that took the lives of three football players: NFL stars Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith, and Will Bleakley from the University of South Florida. Told by the sole survivor of the ill-fated fishing trip, Nick Schuyler, with New York Times bestselling author and sports journalist Jere Longford, Not Without Hope is an inspiring and unforgettable story of courage and strength, friendship and loss, and, most importantly, hope, in the vein of Touching the Void, Into Thin Air, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, and Piers Paul Read’s classic survival tale, Alive.
Four athletes went fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Only one came back.

- The Sole Survivor’s Account: Told in gripping, minute-by-minute detail by Nick Schuyler, the only man to be rescued, this is the definitive, firsthand story of the tragedy.
- A Test of Friendship: In the face of impossible odds, see how the bonds between Marquis Cooper, Corey Smith, Will Bleakley, and Nick Schuyler were tested by the ultimate fight for survival.
- Inspirational Story of Hope: An unforgettable testament to the strength of the human spirit and the will to live, this story reveals the courage it took to not give up when all seemed lost.

I LOVE LOVE LOVED it. Very Raw. Nick you took me THOUGH the entire events. Every word was captivating. Every word that was spoken that you guys went though was a great way to express what was going on.. Great job. I wish more writers would show and express their exact moments that occurred, when telling a true story such as it is
