Product Description
In muddy waters, even heroes drown
Trouble at sea for an ex-war hero ...
His father in prison for fraud, his ex-wife bleeding him dry and his spine shattered by a bullet, Falklands war hero Nick Sandman, VC, has no money and no prospects. Only his boat - Sycorax -and his dream of sailing her away from his troubles is keeping him alive.
But Sycorax is as crippled as Nick. To rebuild his wrecked and stranded dream, Nick is forced into a devil's bargain with egomaniacal TV star Tony Bannister. Bannister is the owner of Wildtrack, an ocean racer, and he wants Nick to be part of the crew that will sail the ship to victory.
Bannister, though, has made some powerful enemies who are out for revenge, leaving Nick caught in the middle. Can he keep Wildtrack and his dreams of escape aboard Sycorax afloat?
Wildtrack is a gripping thriller from the international bestselling author of the Sharpe novels.

A gripping contemporary yachting thriller,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wildtrack (Paperback)
In the same vein as his other yachting adventures, this novel is gripping right from the start. Set more on land than at sea the characters are sharply portrayed and, although you don't feel you really get to know them, with all the action there's barely time. The sailing and seafaring action is described, as usual, beautifully and you feel as though you're really there. I needed to sit down and recover afterwards!

OK Cornwell,
By CN "CN" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wildtrack (Paperback)
Bernard is a keen sailor and I have read all his books on sailing. They are ok, have some excitement but are not a patch on his historical stuff.
If you like sailing and want to read everything he has ever written then give this a go. These 2 reasons are why I bought my copies

Wildtrack,

This review is from: Wildtrack (Paperback)
Early Bernard Cornwell - also published under another name - bought both so one wasted! Enjoyed it, but too many yatchfaring terms - not up to standard of his later work, which I am passionate about.
