Scoundrel -- Bernard Cornwell

<p>"A gifted storyteller and orchestrator of suspense."<br />--<em>Philadelphia Inquirer</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>Scoundrel</em>, a contemporary tale of excitement and danger on high and treacherous seas. A gripping tale of an outlaw yacht captain who decides to cross the Irish Republican Army for a $5 million payday only to find himself pursued by intelligence agents, terrorists, and killers across perilous open waters, <em>Scoundrel</em> is a masterful thriller in the Tom Clancy vein--a masterwork of suspense from one of today's most versatile and accomplished popular novelists.<br /></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Bernard Cornwell<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 12/13/2013<br><b>Pages:</b> 352<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.55lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.30w x 1.00d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780062082381<p></p>
