About this listen

Hungry as the Sea is an enthralling story of revenge, adventure and romance from best-selling author Wilbur Smith.

'Nick went head down, finning desperately to catch the swirling body which tumbled like a leaf in high wind. He had a fleeting glimpse of Baker's face, contorted with terror and lack of breath, the glass visor of his helmet already swamping with icy water as the pressure spurted through the non-return valve. The Chief's headset microphone squealed once and then went dead as the water shorted it out.'

Robbed of his wife and ousted from his huge shipping empire, Nick Berg is hell-bent on vengeance. It is the sea which gives him his opportunity. When his arch-rival's luxury liner is trapped in the tempestuous Antarctic, Nick stakes all to pit his powerful salvage tug, the Warlock, in a desperate race against time and the elements....

A story of greed and power taking over common sence and gives an insight just what people and country's will do regardless of the consequences, a powerful story which should grip you to the end.

Amazing story of power and money

A truly gripping story. Well performed. Couldn’t stop listening to it. Action packed and well detailed

Brilliant

I am South African and always loved Wilber Smith, but somehow this was a little too much, maybe because I have not chosen one of his books for a long time and out of cinque with Wilber’s writing style.
Still no one of the greatest.

A little outdated Hungry as the sea

A great listen. Portraits the mindless use of tankers poorly designed and maintained to transport the riches of crude oil.

Tanker story

I liked the story, a bit slow at times and over descriptive but that's Wilbur Smith style and it didn't take long for me to feel invested in the characters.
the narrator however was terrible. His style was to shout when at a particularly dramatic part which at times had me cringing. There was lots of drama so lots of shouting and to be honest it made me feel uncomfortable to the point if any of the other WS books I have bought have the same guy I will be deleting them without reading, despite paying for them.

Okay story, awful narrator.
