Signal Me Book 1

 

 

November Charlie: If the tsumani doesn't kill them, the sharks just might.

Blurb:

When Jim and Staci Kirk’s parents go missing, he decides to go and search for them himself. Unbeknownst to him, his sister and their best friend Lou, stow away to join him. It seems so simple on paper, sail from England to the Philippines and find the Kirks. But a hurricane named Erika and a relentless shark conspire against them to make the voyage one of the most perilous trips the three teenagers have lived. Can they endure the danger? Will they find the Kirks alive or does God have another idea in mind?

 

Extract:

Lou heard a siren and turned to look behind them. A flashing light identified the fast approaching boat as police. Four armed officers stood on deck and the loud hailer instructed them to pull over.

"Jim? What are you going to do?"

"Do what they want."

"You can't."

"I have to." Jim began to slow the boat and moved it to rest at the side of the waterway.

The police boat shot past and one of the officers waved his thanks.

Lou released a sigh of relief. "For a moment I thought..."

"We all did," Jim said. He pulled out into the main waterway again and followed in the wake of the police boat.

"Wonder where they're going?" Staci said.

"Somewhere in a hurry. Maybe they're late for lunch," Lou said.

"With guns?"

"Maybe they've had lunch, and they're off to kill the cook," Jim said grinning.

"There it is," Staci pointed. "It's slowing down."

Suddenly an almighty explosion fragmented the police boat into a mass of flames and smoke. Shattered timbers and twisted metal flew everywhere.
