A timeless classic of modern-day piracy from the acclaimed master of action and suspense.

Aboard the SS Campari, all is not well.

For Johnny Carter, the Chief Officer, the voyage has already begun badly; but it’s only when the Campari sails that evening, after a succession of delays that he realises something is seriously wrong.

A member of the crew is suddenly missing and the stern-to-stern search only serves to increase tension. Then violence erupts and suddenly the whole ship is in danger. Is the Campari a victim of modern day piracy? And what of the strange cargo hidden below the decks?

Action and suspense and a plot—and can listen with the kids. Fun to figure out together.

Always fun

Golden Rendezvous has long been a favourite of mine. To have access to Audio, done so well, is the chef's kiss of reas/listen pleasure.

I'm a big fan of this story and I am so glad it's in audiobook as well. New narrator - I'm used to Jonathan Oliver. But this was excellent.

appreciated the narrator

There are bits missing throughout the story. some examples of missing sentences:
Johnny says he saw the cables the captain sent and they were really something. Johnny says the misery quotient of millionaires increases with their bank account. He also mentions that he left MacDonald guarding the wrong man.

It's still a great story and my favorite, but it's too bad that it doesn't have all the original text.

This is supposed to be unabridged but it's not

Not worth the time. Simple got to drawn out with no real reason or purpose. The hero was always too hurt to get things done but somehow got it done.

Got to drawn out

The story was hard to follow due to the narrator’s accent and slow approach to the story.

Terrible narration.
