Took. – Paperback

On the wild coast of isolated South West Australia, an ageing surfer is looking for the end-on his own terms.

As his body fails and time runs out, he turns to the ocean for an ending he can choose. Out beyond the break, where the water runs deep and cold, something is waiting.

They always come from below. From below and without warning.

Hard years and bad choices have shaped him-but does he still have the grit to see this through? When the moment comes, how will he face it?

A reimagining of The Old Man and the Sea, this is a story about life, death and what the ocean can give and take.
