Capt. Phil Harris is the larger-than-life biography of the near-mythic crab boat captain, Phil Harris, the late star of the white-hot reality television series, The Deadliest Catch.Prior to his untimely death in 2010, Captain Phil Harris was a star of Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, the hit show that records the exhilarating lives of Alaskan King Crab fishermen. But Capt. Phil’s life on shore—from his partying days to his tempestuous marriages, from his addictive habits to his fundamental American success story—could serve as a reality show in itself. He died unexpectedly in 2010, the result of stroke and heart failure, at age fifty-three. The death of Capt. Phil left a hole in the hearts of millions of fans, and now his two surviving sons, Jake and Josh Harris, are participating exclusively on this authorized biography of their father.
