One of my top five favorites!

I remember finding this book in the public library when I was a teen in the late seventies (the copyright on my paperback copy says 1978) and sitting down to read the first couple of pages. A couple became a few and soon I was completely caught up in the story of Hardin and his wife alone on the sea, blissfully unaware of the wall of steel bearing down on them. I actually had to stifle the impulse to yell at them out loud - LOOK OUT!

I've read the book four or five times since then and it gets better with each reading. Scott's ability to transport you into his character's world is second to none. The sailing scenes are told with amazing detail and authority - the man knows what he's talking about.

The back cover of my copy says "SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE". It's a crying shame that didn't happen - it would have made a whale of a movie!

I read this book when it came out and was also engrossed in the story. Almost twenty years later I vividly recall scenes from the book. It's surpising what publishers consider worthy to remain in print.

Fast paced, a very good read.

I thought this was an excellent, fast paced read. Scott sucks you into the story and leaves you wanting more. I lost my copy or loaned it out, either way I am looking for another. If anyone has one let me know.

The Ship Killer

The most seductive adventure I have ever read! The reader is engaged and captured from the first page to the last. The book is impossible to put down! The story exploites the adrenal system like no other! Time becomes irrelivent, hours pass like minutes as the reader becomes one with the unfolding power of this wonderful tale. The transitions are so seamless it reads like a single page. I too, am at a loss as to why we were denied the movie...until I think of what the current powers in Hollywood are calling entertainment these days!... Somebody call Mel!

The Ship Killer

I read this book many years ago, but today found myself recommending it to a friend...I thoroughly enjoyed the book and it is the type of book that I would have to have on my shelves at all times...Thanks, Janet
