Product Description

Book Description

Poet, explorer and expert on a very particular kind of duck, George Devis has been visiting his sister and her Country and Western singer boyfriend in Ethiopia, where they work on an aid project. As he leaves with their two sons to return to England, armed bandits attack the settlement and the couple suffer a gruesome death. Determined to discover the truth about what happened, he teams up with a Boston journalist on the trail of the perpetrators. First off, a gruelling transatlantic race to publicise the cause - during which their boat is fired on and the journalist dies. And so George finds himself enmeshed in a deadly international conspiracy. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

About the Author

Sam Llewellyn worked as an editor and fine art dealer until he decided that life was too short. Since then, his novels, published in twelve languages, have earned him a reputation as one of the world's master storytellers and writers of maritime thrillers. Many of his books are founded in personal experience. While researching them he has (amongst other things) chased pirates in the South China Sea, raced big-money multi-hulls in France, and run away from cocaine dealers in Spain.

As well as writing novels, Llewellyn has published half a dozen children's books, and works as a journalist for British and American newspapers and magazines such as the London Times and Daily Telegraph. He is a keen gardener, with added interests in ornithology and history and has also sailed yachts - several of which he built himself - all over the world. He now lives with his wife, award-winning children's writer and novelist Karen Wallace, and their two sons in a medieval house in the Welsh border country. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars His best yet, 18 Oct 2002
By Mark (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clawhammer (Paperback)
Llewellyn's other sailing books are great entertaining yarns - but this one is different - and much better. The others all have a definite formula which they all seem to adhere to fairly closely. This one contains elements of the others but adds far more interest into the plot. It is far wider-ranging and the characterisations are better. A few personal prejudices also become apparent but it is none-the-worse for that. There are the usual well-told sailing episodes which I, as a yacht sailor, always enjoy. His narrative style is always easy which makes his books hard to put down.

You don't have to sail to enjoy this one.
