More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
A dramatic contemporary thriller focussing on the blind passion of an obsessive dream. STORMCHILD is the story of a quest, of a man's search for his missing daughter - and to prove his daughter's innocence from involvement in her mother's murder. And he is no ordinary man - for he is famous as a world-class yachtsman, but the strength of the storms he has to face at sea are nothing compared to the violence of the political campaigners who hold his daughter.
About the Author
Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe series, as well as THE WINTER KING, ENEMY OF GOD, and most recently, EXCALIBUR, lives in Cape Cod, USA, where he sails whenever he's not writing.

Enthralling,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stormchild (Paperback)
Couldn't agree less with the other, negative reviews. A great read for the armchair sailor. This is a ripping yarn, and probably my favourite of the four Cornwell novels with sailing themes (Wildtrack, Sea Lord, Crackdown). Wish he'd write some more. The only comparable modern sailing thrillers I've read are those of Warwick Collins' Challenge trilogy (also highly recommended if you can get hold of them).

A grim and tight thriller.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stormchild (Paperback)
Well, I was a bit surprised by the other reviews I read of this book. I found it to be an interesting account of how different personalities can meet and find common ground, with a good bit of action thrown in. I found the main female character to be eccentric but with VERY strong principles - and definitely no large breasts - and the narrator a flawed but likeable man. If I had to compare this with Cornwell's other books, I would say it is a more mature story than the Sharpe series - I won't compare it with the Warlord Chronicles, because NO book can stand that comparison! If you want to read a modern-day adventure tale, pick this one.

A provoking read,
By RJ Norris "Ray Norris" (Woodbridge, Suffolk. UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stormchild (Paperback)
Love it or hate it this book definitly gets a reaction. It is a book that touches a nerve as can be seen in many of the other reviews, no one wants to accept that family hatred could go this far. I believe that this is Bernards' best 'stand alone' novel.
