Synopsis

Bob Sherman has a strength of character and purpose that would make Spencer Tracy proud.  But signing on to the crew of the yacht Bonito, he’ll need every ounce of his strength and courage to overcome the forces arrayed against him—in Sea Fangs.

He’ll take on the forces of nature—a hurricane smashing into the boat off the Venezuelan coast.  He’ll stand up to the forces of ignorance—Bonito’s incompetent captain. He’ll defy the forces of corruption—the boat’s owner, who stripped him of his land years ago. And he’ll fight the forces of evil—a ruthless band of pirates who take all aboard, including the owner’s daughter, to the uncharted Island of Death.

His fate intertwined with a woman whose father stole everything he valued, Sherman is about to discover that there’s one force as powerful, unpredictable and dangerous as the sea itself . . . the force of a beautiful woman’s love.

Hubbard had vast experience at sea. By the time he’d written this story, he had traveled twice to China on Naval vessels, had signed on a twin-masted schooner plying the Chinese coast, and had organized a five-thousand mile expedition aboard a four-masted schooner. He had first-hand experience of the violence of the sea—and of the men who ply it—as he depicts in Sea Fangs.

“A must for his legions of fans and an impressive tribute to his storytelling skills.” —The Midwest Book Review

About this title

About the Author:

As one of the 20 top bestselling authors of all time, with more than 325 million works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard stands alongside an illustrious company of writers. But he also stands alone—as an author who actually lived many of the stories he wrote.

From AudioFile:

The dashing mariner, the raven-haired beauty, the ruthless buccaneers--they're all part of another grand pulp-fiction adventure from Galaxy's Stories from the Golden Age. Listeners are covered with the salt spray of a hurricane off the coast of South America and abandoned in the dungeon of Death Island. The cast brings alive romance, bravado, menace, and the thrill of escape. We root for the good guys and cheer the ingenuity of hero and heroine. It's all a bit corny, but let the story sweep you away. Sound effects amplify the storm, crack out the gunfire, and fill in the rabble of the crowd. Music and sound are totally in keeping with the story's style and energy. SEA FANGS can be added as another great escape for listeners. R.F.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
