The Shadow in the Sands

[graham]

Just read Sam Llewellyns "Shadow in the sands".

Good easy to read old fashioned "ripping yarn"

Its set in 1903, a fisherman turned proffesionall yacht skipper is employed to take a salvage expert to the Frisian Islands . The expert turns out to be not what he says and the group end up in fear of their lives from the German millitary. Lots of exciting but believable sailing stuff as well as intrigue and romance.
The story is a follow on from Erskine Childers "Riddle of the Sands".

Yup...bought it off the author at the LBS a few years back. He promised me I'd enjoy it...and I did!

Blimey, that was quick! I try to save a few books for wet afternoons in harbour.


Aaahh, perhaps we've just had dozens of them! DOH /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
