Stormchild -- Bernard Cornwell

<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><br><br><b>Author:</b> Bernard Cornwell<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 12/20/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 496<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.88lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.94h x 5.32w x 0.92d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780062092656
