Typhoon is the story of a steamship and her crew beset by a tempest and of the captain whose dogged courage is tested to the limit.
Captain MacWhirr was an ordinary man. However, when his steamer Nan-Shan blunders into a hurricane, he and his crew must pull together to survive. The steadfast courage of an undemonstrative captain and the imaginative readiness of his young first mate becomes a partnership vital to human survival as they are challenged from without by the elements, and from within by human doubts and fears.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would deffinately recommend this audiobook to friends -- in fact I have done so, several times over.There are parts in this unabridged version that I never suspected to find. I was especially happy to discover the author's kinowledge of whaling. Also his kinowloedge of sailing and sailing vessels.
I would love tod go back 50 years and visit that dumb little Lit. 101 teacher I had my first year of college. She had no idea what this book was really about, she also had very little knowledge of the characters.
Instead of requiring students read that pittyful little paper back -- This version should be
