November Charlie. If the tsunami doesn't kill them, the sharks just might.
The flags November Charlie means - I am in distress and require immediate assistance.
Today sees the release of November Charlie, the first in a series of 3 YA books. Be warned, it's a series and ends on a deliberate Cliff Hanger. As does book 2.
Blurb:
When Jim and Staci Kirk's parents go missing, he decides to search for them himself. Unbeknownst to him, his sister and their best friend Lou, stow away to join him.
It seems so simple on paper, sail from England to the Philippines and find the Kirks. But a hurricane named Erika and a relentless shark conspire against them to make the voyage one of the most perilous trips the teenagers have ever lived.
Can they endure the danger? Will they find the Kirks alive or does God have another idea in mind?
Extract:
Lou heard a siren and turned to look behind them. A flashing light identified the fast approaching boat as police. Four armed officers stood on deck and the loud hailer instructed them to pull over.
"Jim? What are you going to do?"
"Do what they want."
"You canāt."
"I have to." Jim began to slow the boat and moved it to rest at the side of the waterway.
The police boat shot past and one of the officers waved his thanks.
Lou released a sigh of relief. "For a moment I thought..."
"We all did," Jim said. He pulled out into the main waterway again and followed in the wake of the police boat.
"Wonder where theyāre going?" Staci said.
"Somewhere in a hurry. Maybe theyāre late for lunch," Lou said.
"With guns?"
"Maybe theyāve had lunch, and theyāre off to kill the cook," Jim said grinning.
"There it is," Staci pointed. "Itās slowing down."
Suddenly an almighty explosion fragmented the police boat into a mass of flames and smoke. Shattered timbers and twisted metal flew everywhere.
