About this listen

The eccentric millionaire Robert “Bobby” Ayers has disappeared again, this time alone on his 60-foot luxury sailboat. Behind him he leaves the wreckage of a controversial life - three ex-wives, angry creditors, and the shadow of a murder in his past. He travels the endless expanse of the Pacific cloaked in stealth, only to meet his future there in the form of a young woman more mysterious than he is. Left behind is his only daughter, Laura, who must fulfill the commands of his living trust in a journey that leads her ever deeper into a fractured world of family, revelation, and personal destiny.

"An original and compelling tale...a great read and a profound experience" (Bob Woodward)

declaring an interest - I'm a sailor and fan of Christian, But this is a great ride.. funny, and observant.. vivid characters and scenes; land and sea. I hope that he writes, publishes, and narrates more, whether fiction or non.

sharp, funny, cool

I thoroughly enjoyed this well written and fast paced novel. I read it as a sailor, but it is very accessible to non-sailors. The characters are well drawn and the structure is excellent, so the action unfolds in a mysterious and exciting way. Highly recommended

A wonderful novel, at sea and on land

This is a straight forward good read and one of the only audiobooks I’ve given to friends. Great description, feel like you’re there, very well written, nothing fancy/groundbreaking but I don’t care as it’s just a great read.

Great story.

I am not happy about giving such a low score for this book - Having read Christian's account of his travels by boat which were great I was hanging out for it since its publishing date was announced on youtube. I am afraid the tale entirely failed to get me engaged and the presentation, so eminently suitable for the previous books talking about his sailing adventures is unsuitable for a novel.

Put aside
