Starfire Flight

The Orinoco Voyages #1

by Robert Wingfield

Swallows and Amazons in the 21st Century?
Two boys strike up a friendship when they unexpectedly end up acquiring the same sailing-boat. They discover that this vessel is only the first of a series of clues, leading them on with the promise of adventure and gold, in a modern-day treasure hunt that will take them from one end of Britain to the other. The boys have to master the craft of sailing in order to follow the trail, and as the quest takes on a life of its own, they get into deep water with the vicious pirate known locally as ‘Slasher’, and must contend with a ruthless criminal gang if they have any hope of finding the treasure, let alone escape with their lives.
