Product Description
Academy Award-winning actor Gene Hackman and leading underwater archeologist Daniel Lenihan have combined their talents to create one of the most exciting-and critically acclaimed-adventure novels of our time. A rousing saga of shipwrecks, pirates, and the sea, it chronicles the fate of a young man forced by tragedy to join the crew of the Perdido Star in 1805. From the docks of old Salem, to Cuba and the South Seas, his three-year voyage is a classic coming-of-age adventure that is truly "an American swashbuckler" (Kirkus Reviews).
Praise for Wake of the Perdido Star:

"An adventure story that earns its place in the esteemed company of such seafaring sagas as Moby Dick...."-San Diego Union-Tribune
"Always entertaining."-Library Journal
"A robust sea-faring yarn...A fun-filled adventure...complete with a slam-bang finale." -Winston-Salem Journal
"Intriguing [and] exciting."-Publishers Weekly
