About this listen

 Nominated for the Audiobook Download of the Year, 2008.

The unabridged recording of Sail is only available as a download.

As Peter Carlyle waves his wife, children and brother-in-law off on a sailing holiday, all they have in mind is lying back and relaxing. But as a violent storm breaks out, an explosion causes the boat to vanish without a trace, and the family are lost, presumed dead.

Until now. When a message in a bottle is washed up on a shore, it becomes apparent that there must have been at least one survivor.

Peter is a broken man. He appears to struggle to contain his grief as he holds a heartfelt TV interview about his loss. But all is not as it seems. Beneath the grief lies a more sinister side; Peter is involved with a beautiful - and dangerous - younger woman, and it soon transpires that he knows more about his family's disappearance than he is letting on.

He seeks to find whatever remains of his family, but is he really looking for a happy reunion? And could it be that it isn't just Peter who is hot on the Dunne family's trail? The race is on to rescue any survivors and discover what happened aboard the luxury yacht.

Easy listening drivel. Some unexpected plot twists, some glaringly obvious ones. I found the narrator's voice a tad annoying....

This was a fabulous book - gripping and very enjoyable. The music in parts was a bit off putting kept thinking the phone was ringing but you got used to it. The ending I felt was a bit hurried but there were no unaswered questions which is great.

Loved the two readers - they did a spendid job and really bought the book to life.

Only one point - having listened to the sentence three or four times still not sure if it was 16 or 60M???

Great book

A quick moving and exciting story with lots of twists and turns. Really enjoyable, easy going, lots of far fetched coincidences, as you might expect.

Exciting and different
