OVERBOARD! A True Bluewater Odyssey of Disaster and Survival

Narrator Malcolm Hillgartner's urgency never ceases. He keeps the tension so high in this tale of weather on the Atlantic that listeners may need to turn it off occasionally to lower their heart rates. It all starts with five sailors on a recreational sail down the East Coast to Bermuda. The recreation ends when a hurricane catches them 400 miles at sea, in the Gulf Stream. Every possible turn of bad luck strikes the crew as they struggle to survive. Malcolm Hillgartner's booming voice enhances every perception of hyperthermia, dehydration, and panic in the helpless victims of Nature's fury. As repeated attempts at rescue fail, listeners can expect their emotions to rise and fall like the swells destroying the small boat. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2010]
