Scoundrel - A Novel of Suspense

"A gifted storyteller and orchestrator of suspense." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "Bernard Cornwell is to the yachting adventure novel what ex-jockey Dick Francis is to the racetrack thriller." -- Orlando Sentinel The New York Times bestselling author of The Fort , the Saxon Tales, and the immensely popular Richard Sharpe novels, Bernard Cornwell has been called, "perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today" ( Washington Post ). He demonstrates another side of his extraordinary storytelling talents with Scoundrel , 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, Scoundrel is a masterful thriller in the Tom Clancy vein--a masterwork of suspense from one of today''s most versatile and accomplished popular novelists.
