Özet
 8th April 2009 was just an ordinary day for Richard Phillips, captain of the Maersk Alabama as it headed towards the port of Mombasa. Ordinary that is until, armed Somali pirates attacked and boarded the freighter. Captain Phillips offered himself as a hostage in exchange for the safety of his crew, and so began a tense five-day stand-off, which ended in a daring high-seas rescue by U.S. Navy SEALs.©2010 Richard Phillips (P)2010 Tantor Media Inc Suspense Thriller & Suspense

What about George Wilson’s performance did you like?

The quality of the narration was generally very good. However, there were many long pauses suggesting a chapter break where in fact there wasn't one.

Any additional comments?

This was an absorbing book. I recommend it.

Interesting and engaging

I listened to this audio book after watching the film, the book is definitely worth a read/listen, covering extras such as how his family cope with events back home, news coverage, politics, the general life of a merchant mariner, shipmate duties, leadership (captaincy) and of course piracy. If you've seen and enjoyed the film, you'll like the extra details offered by the book... The story is of course exactly the same!

An excellent informative account of events.
