Unobtainable, up until now, Pirate Treasure. The narrator is so perfect for this, he adds depth of character, atmosphere and a fab description of The Storm. I almost thought I was there too.....

I’d been searching for a modern pirate story with some meat on its bones, and found exactly that with Preston & Child’s Riptide.
A gripping story, well read by Scott Brick (who I also enjoyed from Jurassic Park) and it would have been five stars if not for the over played conceit surrounding the mysterious illness suffered by those who approach the treasure. I was waiting for the protagonist (a Harvard medical graduate no less) to catch up, and several times thought to myself ‘Surely he’ll get it now?!’, only to be dumbfounded as he missed the blatant clues.
But that aside, it’s a hard to put down audiobook with a satisfying conclusion.
Will be looking for more from this trio!
