<p>[A] page-turner....Cornwell unleashes danger and violence from both man and nature.<br />--<em>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</em></p><p>Bernard Cornwell is to the yachting adventure novel what ex-jockey Dick Francis is to the racetrack thriller.<br />--<em>Orlando Sentinel</em></p><p>The <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Fort</em> the Saxon Tales and the immensely popular Richard Sharpe novels Bernard Cornwell has been called perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today (<em>Washington Post</em>). He demonstrates another side of his extraordinary storytelling talents with <em>Stormchild</em> a contemporary tale of danger on the high and treacherous seas. The gripping story of a man who has lost almost everything in his life and now must race across perilous waters aboard his sloop Stormchild in a desperate attempt to rescue his daughter from the clutches of a shadowy cult and its mad leader. As relentlessly exciting as a Tom Clancy thriller <em>Stormchild</em> is a masterwork of suspense from one of today's most versatile and accomplished popular novelists.<br /></p>
