Hungry as the Sea is an enthralling story of revenge, adventure and romance from best-selling author Wilbur Smith.

'Nick went head down, finning desperately to catch the swirling body which tumbled like a leaf in high wind. He had a fleeting glimpse of Baker's face, contorted with terror and lack of breath, the glass visor of his helmet already swamping with icy water as the pressure spurted through the non-return valve. The Chief's headset microphone squealed once and then went dead as the water shorted it out.'

Robbed of his wife and ousted from his huge shipping empire, Nick Berg is hell-bent on vengeance. It is the sea which gives him his opportunity. When his arch-rival's luxury liner is trapped in the tempestuous Antarctic, Nick stakes all to pit his powerful salvage tug, the Warlock, in a desperate race against time and the elements....

A very enjoyable story with a strong protagonist. The story gets a little preachy about saving the oceans but it is well mingled with the narrative and characters. As others have pointed out the narrator in the Audible version wasn't the best for this type story, but is tolerable. If I had a real complaint its the lack of chapters in the Audible version. There is no break from the end of one chapter from the other, luckily I had read this on kindle long ago so I kind of knew what was going on, I can imagine first time listeners not realizing when one scene ended and getting confused at what seems like weird time skips and character teleportation.

If you haven’t read Wilbur Smith YOU NEED TO! I am so sad because I have now finished all of his series along with all but one of his novels. I’m saving that for an up coming road trip with my husband.
Mr. Smiths writing style is so very extraordinary, vivid, alive, I feel like I am a character in one of his stories his novels are so easy to melt into. I feel as though I can, smell the air, taste the salt of the sea, feel the stinging heat of the desert, touch the minerals and rocks, hike through the jungles, go on Safari, feel the splashing rain, smell the mineral iron smell of blood, ride a horse....I JUST DO NOT KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS HOW FABULOUS THESE NOVELS & SERIES ARE!
***THANK YOU Wilber Smith for sharing your stories with the world, I for one am richer for it.

What a Writer!

I was a bit disappointed, way too much wasted time on what I suppose was "passionate love" nonsense and the female characters both seemed very unlikable and artificial stereotypical, histrionic and just wrong.

not Wilbur Smith's best

Although not part of series I wish it was. the book is relationship and action packed with a tongue of science fiction.... carried to extremes....

Fun book

His over emphasis of words and phraseology, makes it seem that he is a Harlequin novel.

Awful reader.
