Customer Reviews
Boat + Barrier = Brilliance
I pity the seller trying to decide where to shelve this powerhouse story. It’s an action/ adventure, mystery, travelogue, romance that hides an emotional punch under a wild ride around the world aboard a sailboat that is as much a character herself as are the people aboard her. I had to stop reading this book in public because the laughter and tears evoked by my involvement with Mike Barrier and friends were causing concern in the people around me. “Wings” has pirates and murder, love lost and family found, the seedy underbelly of life and the grace and redemption to rise above it. It suffers no lazy readers; the surprises start early and never let up. And it’s target audience?—literate humans 12 to 120. If you fall in that category, do yourself the favor of reading this book. You deserve it.
