The Seven Seat is a must have for your rowing library. Dan Boyne beautifully captures the thrill of being the ‘newbie' - new to college, (an elite college, no less), new to taking the top bunk in a small dorm room, new to competitive rowing. In this work of ‘creative non-fiction,’ Dan describes college rowing, ’70’s style: leaden boats, wooden oars, cotton t-shirts, and no Concept II ergs. Score one! But that’s just the beginning. Read on. You’ll be glad you did. -- Brad Alan Lewis, Olympic Gold Medalist in rowing and author of Assault on Lake Casitas With Dan Boyne’s books The Red Rose Crew and Kelly: A Father, A Son, An American Quest, he proved to be an author who knows how to tell good rowing stories. Now, Boyne is back with a new rowing tale, The Seven Seat: A True Story of Rowing, Redemption, and Revenge, a work that he himself calls “creative non-fiction,” in which he takes a more active role as both a narrator and a character. Boyne shows in this wonderful “saga” that he is a master of portraying American rowing history—whether it’s about a famous women’s crew, an American rowing legend, or rowing at Trinity College, Hartford, in the 1970s. -- Göran R. Buckhorn, editor of Mystic Seaport Museum Magazine and founder and editor of Hear The Boat Sing
