Sean Brodie, an American engineer on contract in Adelaide, and his partner of eight months, local boy Rob Markham, are struggling to save their relationship by hiring a boat for a week's fishing off the wild south Australian coast. As a storm approaches, they go to the aid of a luxury cabin-cruiser apparently in trouble, only to find that they've stumbled into a drug smuggling gang's offshore headquarters. A lucky escape is only the start of their troubles, as they find their pursuers have unexpected friends on land as well as sea.
'Storm Tide', was a wonderfully contrast to the last book that I read, which was not great. In comparison this book was a bed of roses. However, that being said this book was better in a 'happy ending' sort of way. I admit that I am a sucker for angst with a bit of happy fluff at the end. Somehow the happy makes all the bad worth while and I like that.
Between the pages of Mel Keegan's, 'Storm Tide' you find a lot of things from action, to capture, to rescue, to wildly lashing winds and interesting rope tricks. This book is pretty much your typical action sort of thing with a rather hardy boyesque sort of feel to it, but more adult than they ever were. *grins*
