Book Description

May 2001
Where there's an ocean, there are always adventure tales to be told. In the good old-fashioned tradition of story-telling, S.O.S. collects 19 intriguing tales--both fictional and true, classic and contemporary. From the depths of H. G. Wells's The Abyss to the tempest in Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm, these spine-tingling stories are as varied as the moods of the sea itself. A sturdy book with rounded corners and large type, S.O.S. is perfect for a week-long sail or an afternoon adventure in the armchair. Selected Contributors: Joseph Conrad, Stephen King, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Sebastian Junger, Paul Theroux, Ernest Hemingway.

5.0 out of 5 stars S.O.S Great Book, March 11, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: S.O.S: Chilling Tales of Adventure on the High Seas (Paperback)
S.O.S is a collection of many adcenture stories that take place on the sea. These stories are very dangerous and exciting. All the authors do a great job of using lots of detail to make the readers feel like they were right in the boat.

In some of the stories, people get seperated from their boat or friends that were with them. In other stories, sailors are stranded in storms or attacked by mysterious sea cretures...

This is a very good book with alot of adventure and exciting details. I suggest this book to anyone who would enjoy a book filled with dangers and suspense.

1.0 out of 5 stars A good bedtime book!, July 14, 2010
This review is from: S.O.S: Chilling Tales of Adventure on the High Seas (Paperback)
I love sailing books, but not this one. It has about twenty stories and only three or four were very good. But it did put me to sleep, so it was a good bedtime book!
