From Library Journal
Bill Chester and Howard Hunter were friends in their youth. To renew their friendship, the two men and their wives charter a beautiful yacht to cruise the Carribbean islands for relief from winter's cold. Howard, more than a bit of a braggart, annoys their hired captain, Steve, by promoting his knowledge of sailing. But when Steve greets the four with a gun as they return from a shore visit, taking them hostage, their winter vacation swiftly develops into terror on the seas. Kennedy is a masterful writer, as exhibited in Rules of Encounter (St. Martin's, 1992), but Dark Tide is not the novel it might be; the smuggling subplot is not convincingly integrated into the main story, thus making the terror less convincing. Additionally, Kennedy's characters are not thoroughly developed. Most public libraries can pass on this, but purchase if Kennedy has a strong following.?Alice DiNizo, Raritan P.L., N.J.

What would you do?,
By Donna P. Beckner (Louisville, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dark Tide (Mass Market Paperback)
Do you like fun books that really make you think? If so, then this is the book for you. A great summer read that will take you out on a beautiful yaught into the gorgeous waters of the Caribbean. Two couples who have not seen each other in years plan a seven day get-a-way on the luxury yaught, CANE MAIDEN. Sun, sailing, swimming, snorkeling, and reminiscing...all things that two couples would enjoy immensely. But then, everything goes wrong. After returning from a relaxing island dinner, the two couples find that their boat has been hijacked and they are being held captive on the beautiful boat that has now become thier prison. Working together the couples gain control of the vessel and then the lure of instant wealth changes each one of them--wife against husband, friend against friend. They each see each other, as well as him/herself, at their worst. What would you do to keep millions of dollars, if you had the chance. This book will make you wonder which character you would identify with. There are twists and turns all the way to the last page. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time...it really made me ask myself what I would do in such a situation. A great book to take with you on your next summer get-a-way.
