Summary: Ocean adventure and a bit of romance
Review: This book shows you the very fine line between love and hate. How a person can say they love you and down the road could'nt care less about you.
And that you can't trust ANYBODY. The main character Nick Berg, lost his life's work because of his cold blooded belle wife. This shows you how a man can pull himself out of the gutter with shear determination and a cool intuitve mind. The book has ocean adventure and a bit of romance. Good read.

Summary: Like feeling cheated? Read this book.
Review: Wilbur Smith might have created a new genre with this book -junkscience-fiction.The first quarter of this book draws the readerinto the action as the protagonist effects a harrowing rescue/salvage operation at sea in seemingly impossible conditions, leaving the reader hungering for more. Unfortunately it never comes. After the initial fun, the story turns into a shipwreck of ridiculously exaggerated characterizations and baseless political rhetoric. This is a shameless tactic usually employed only by second rate authors. The main character is portrayed as truly god-like, defying death at nearly every turn, able to rule all who encounter him with little more effort than a single glance. Of course, this infallible hero eventually becomes the champion of the political statement which, make no mistake, is the underlying purpose of this book. The drudgery of reading the last three-quarters of the book rewards the reader with nothing more than thinly veiled political/environmental demagoguery where facts are irrelevant, environmental-whackos are saints, and capitalists are evil who shouldn't be, and often aren't, allowed to live. Smith tries to spin a yarn of certain extermination of nearly all life on earth if one particular evil capitalist is allowed to have his way.... Next to the word "hyperbole" in the dictionary, one would expect to find a picture of this book. The writing is rough and doesn't flow smoothly. You'll find yourself periodically checking to see if you accidentally skipped a few pages, wondering how you got to this point. The authorship is as poor as the quality of paper it is printed on. This book went adrift early, and never recovered. If you are going to spend the time to read a book, don't waste time with this one. Upon finishing the book, I felt cheated as will you if you read it.

Summary: Wasted time
Review: You know the feeling... every page you turn you already know what is going to happen. Probably more boring than watching paint dry. I finished it just because I simply have to do it with every book I start. One of my friends named his boat "Warlock" after this book:I wanted to sink her...
