Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bob Sherman has a strength of character and purpose that would make Spencer Tracy. 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 Sailor Bob Sherman has his hands full trying to save the ocean yacht Bonito from capsizing in hurricane waters off Venezuela's coast— no thanks to the know-it-all attitude and incompetence of the vessel's captain. Sherman's rugged good looks and seafaring skills at least bring him the attentions of Phyllis Marmion, a raven-haired beauty and daughter of the yacht's owner. Unfortunately, Sherman's also the bitter enemy of the girl's father who, with the support of corrupt officials, had stripped him of a highly profitable drilling business and taken his land years before. More's at stake than oil fields when the ship is attacked by modern pirates and are all taken captive. Soon Sherman, crew and passengers find themselves in a dungeon jail on an uncharted island known locally as the Island of Death— a place where no one escapes, and Sherman's futile efforts have marked him for an early death.
