The Shipkiller

Project Type: Past Project

Delivery Date: 2015

A story of love and revenge set on the high seas.

It was the largest moving object on the face on the earth, but for Carolyn and Peter Hardin it was a towering wall of steel bursting out of a squall at full speed, bearing down on their ketch Siren. In a few dramatic moments, Siren was shattered by the indifferent juggernaut. Struggling for his life, Peter Hardin felt his wife’s hand torn from his grip as the huge white letters on the supertanker’s stern – Leviathan – steamed away.

Thus begins an odyssey of revenge that embraces the distant waters of the world, from the titanic storms of the South Atlantic to the oil-slicked reaches of the Persian Gulf. Acclaimed throughout the world as one of the best maritime thrillers ever told, The Shipkiller is the tale of one man determined to win at sea the justice he has been denied on land.
