About this listen

Dan Kilmer is a former Marine sniper in his late 30s. Fifteen years earlier, he returned home from military service in the Middle East and gave college a try, but his combat experiences prevented him from fitting into campus life.

In a South Florida boatyard, his uncle was attempting to refurbish an old cargo schooner, and Dan left college to help him finish the flagging project. After two years of work but before the 60-foot boat was relaunched, his uncle fell from a scaffold and died. While still in his mid-20s, Dan inherited the schooner Rebel Yell, but not the means to maintain it or to afford the cruising lifestyle. Soon after, he left the United States to embark on a series of voyages, mostly in pursuit of beautiful women and good times.

The action in this new novel takes place a few years after his adventures in Castigo Cay, the first Dan Kilmer novel. In The Red Cliffs of Zerhoun, Dan's trading schooner is located in Southwest Ireland, where he is attempting to sell 96 drums of diesel fuel salvaged from an abandoned NATO base in Greenland. The global financial system has collapsed, and both paper and digital currency have no value, but diesel fuel and gold still do.

While waiting to sell his remaining 30 barrels, Dan is approached by a retired SAS colonel and asked to transport a dozen former special operations commandos 1,400 miles south to the Canary Islands, where they will be transported by a landing craft to Morocco in order to conduct a rescue operation. Two months earlier, nearly 70 Irish and English girls had been kidnapped by pirates from their elite Irish boarding academy and taken to Port Zerhoun, which is under the control of a cartel of modern corsairs. The young schoolgirls will be sold at auction as sex slaves, unless a ragtag team of former commandos can liberate them in time.

Riveting, Fun and Factual!

I love this author, everything he writes is solid gold. I have read the Enemies trilogy, "Castigo Cay" and just finished "The Red Cliffs of Zirhoun" Really fun books to listen to and they also have some very important messages and details that patriots will appreciate. Thanks for your service Mr. Bracken and thanks for your literary treasures! It's hard to find the right words to express how much I like all of your books. I will be reading your collection of essays and short stories next and I'm sure they will not disappoint! I am also going to check out the Giles Milton book he recommends at the end.

This author rocks!

I've finished all of Matthew Brackens books available on Audible. The value for each credit spent is at the top of any I've used. Great story lines, characters, details... Everything. Looking forward to more.

Superb

I highly recommend this novel/audiobook. The story is new and refreshingly realistic. It will be well worth your time to read/listen to this novel.

The book reads like an action-packed roller coaster ride to hell and back!

Bracken does it again! I read all three of his enemies foreign and domestic books, as well as Castigo key. Before reading the cliffs of Zarhou. Although works of fiction, they all weave historical fact and offer very plausible, if not probable future scenarios. You will be entertained and educated - all in one big explosive ball of wax!

I can hardly wait for the next book! Hey Matt, you got to try to make a movie out of one of them!

A great read – Bracken’s best yet!

A follow up to Castigo Cay, the Red Cliffs of Zerhoun follows the continued adventures of Dan Kilmer, a vagabond who who has to make his way in a dysfunctional and dystopian world. A world seemingly closer to reality every day.
As an ocean sailor myself, Bracken’s descriptions and revelations of the protagonists voyages are very realistic.
With Red Cliffs -Bracken has hit the ball out of the park. This is, in fact, his best yet!
