What People are Saying About This

Fred Burton

"The book Cruising for Trouble is a must read for anyone interested in terrorism, global security and geo-politics. Gaouette's book reads like a novel, but is true, which comes from a lifetime of experience as a homeland security expert and State Department special agent. You won't be disappointed."
— Fred Burton, VP, Stratfor and author of Ghost: Confessions of a Counterterrorism Agent

James Walker

"From pirate attacks to crimes against passengers, Commander Gaouette's book offers a rare insider's view into the world of cruise ship security. Gaouette provides a unique perspective of the security challenges facing the cruise industry and its history of overboard passengers, sexual assaults and unsolved crimes. Passengers should take notice that there are real dangers both onboard cruise ships and in the high seas surrounding them. This is an overdue wake up call to the cruise industry."
