Set against the titanic struggle of man against the sea - and man against corruption of the international oil cartel - "Storm Watch" is the thrilling story of a super-tanker caught in a ship-killing monsoon.
Stephen Longstreet was a prolific novelist, screenwriter, cartoonist, and artist whose work ranged in subject from gourmet cookbooks to potboiler detective novels to portraits of American jazz greats. He published over 100 books in his lifetime, including the novel The Sisters Liked them Handsome, which was turned into a successful Broadway musical. Longstreet also wrote screenplays that would go on to star Hollywood greats from Ronald Reagan to Errol Flynn.
A good holiday read book. Not outstanding just a plain story well told and a nice easy read. The novel is about an oil tanker at sea and a storm. However there is a nasty undercurrent of plotting and machinations which give the story a little spice.
Nice book for men who aren't keen readers of novels.
