He’s done it again!!!

The Master of storytelling did it sadly again. His final book was simply a tale woven in that gave us greatness from the first book to the last.I will continue to recommend his books when asked.they all have given me hours and hours of reading enjoyment. I remember reading Mr.Smith,s first book , reading with a flashlight,under the covers,and so gripping was the story I lost a nights sleep or up in the tale that told of the beginning of the Courtney line. To have this book be his final work is just fitting.I’m sorry that we never met, but I will be one of many that will enjoy each book again and again.

Mutiny at sea

loved it from start to finish even took my time and just stopped listening so i could get it all in

Loved it

Wilbur is my favorite author of all time. He never lets us down. I have read everything, don’t miss a single one of his novels they all transport you to another place and time.

Excellent adventure book

This is by far one of the better books written by Wilbur Smith and another additional writer. I was hooked by the characters the grandeur and the action. Even tough the ending was satisfying for me it felt a little too cheap. The characters deserved a better and longer ending and there was so much room for several chapters more. This was the only let doen in the book. Overall I really enjoyed it. With a better ending it would have been a classic instead of a very good book

Magnificent swach buckler by Wilber Smith

Good solid sea-going novel narrated by the talented Sean Barrett. Storm Tide has been my introduction to Wilder Smith and I intend to read everything he has written. Thumbs up!
