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.

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

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!

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.

Another excellent book from Bernard Cornwell
This is yet another rip roaring novel up to Cornwell's usual standard.
The only comment I would make are all his hero's, at least those not in an army, tend to be rather well... Read more

Bernard Cornwell
Bernard Cornewell's novels are always a good read. I have a number of them and always look for his latest one to be published.

Wild Track By Bernard Cornwell
Excellent book/story. I enjoyed the story, it held my concentration trying to guess Who did it.

Worth reading
Hadn't read this Bernard Cornwell before although it is obviously a fairly early one. Exciting book, easy reading, enjoyed it.

Pick another one to read.
I can't quite put my finger on what it is about this book which I didn't like. It's particularly confusing since I've liked every other one of his books. Read more
