“A gifted storyteller and orchestrator of suspense.” —<em>Philadelphia Inquirer</em> “Bernard Cornwell is to the yachting adventure novel what ex-jockey Dick Francis is to the racetrack thriller.” —<em>Orlando Sentinel</em> The <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Fort</em>, the Saxon Tales, and the immensely popular Richard Sharpe novels, Bernard Cornwell has been called, “perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today” (<em>Washington Post</em>). He demonstrates another side of his extraordinary storytelling talents with <em>Scoundrel</em>, a contemporary tale of excitement and danger on high and treacherous seas. A gripping tale of an outlaw yacht captain who decides to cross the Irish Republican Army for a $5 million payday only to find himself pursued by intelligence agents, terrorists, and killers across perilous open waters, <em>Scoundrel</em> is a masterful thriller in the Tom Clancy vein—a masterwork of suspense from one of today’s most versatile and accomplished popular novelists.
