Description

"An intriguing thriller for those who enjoy sea adventures." ―Booklist

In the Bering Sea, Bennkah, the largest oil tanker ever built, newly commissioned in Vladivostok, Russia, is on a secret mission. On this maiden voyage, Captain Borodin is at the helm. He is the only one aboard aware of the mission.

Soon an engineer discovers a defect seemingly minor, but one with disastrous potential. Despite his attempts to correct the problem, a fire erupts, contained at first, then rapidly spreads out of control, consuming the behemoth ship.

A Mayday call alerts Sonny Wade some two hundred miles from the burning ship. This could be the lifeline that Sonny and his ragtag crew need to save their failing salvage business. But Dan Sharp, Sonny's nemesis and former employer, the owner of the largest salvage business in northern Alaska, also hears the call. A brutal race is on to claim the burning ship before it sinks or runs aground, contaminating the entire north Pacific Rim and not only with oil.

"From the opening scene, it's clear you’re in the hands of authors who call the ocean, and seafaring ships, home. Characters are well-defined, descriptions are vivid, and the story feels genuine. Goliath is a terrific opening act for Corridan’s and Waid's crew, with undoubtedly many exciting adventures to come." ―Alan Jacobson, USA Today best-selling author of The Lost Codex

“In Goliath, Shawn Corridan and Gary Waid have created a nuanced thriller, layered in ways rarely seen in a debut novel. The authors combine technical knowledge with steadily increasing tension, adding unexpected twists until the reader is left holding his breath in white-knuckled suspense. Highly recommended!”
―Allan Leverone, New York Times best-selling author of The Hitler Deception

“An ingenious idea. The biggest tanker the world has ever seen, gorged with toxic crude oil, is aground off Alaska. What to do? The pace is fast, the technology accurate and not too much. A good read.”
―Frederick Forsyth, New York Times best-selling author of The Outsider: My Life in Intrigue

“An exciting addition to the world of action and adventure, with all the twists and turns you’d expect from grand masters like Clive Cussler and James Rollins! Hold onto the railing or you’re liable to be tossed overboard, because this is one wild ride!”
―Brett Battles, best-selling author of the Jonathan Quinn thrillers.

“A down on his luck owner of a failing marine salvage business is presented with the opportunity of a lifetime: lay claim to the world’s largest, and now heavily damaged, oil tanker and reap a fortune. The race is on and the action is fast and furious with unexpected twists throughout, including the true mission of the tanker. The authors seafaring knowledge lends a good deal of nautical vérité to the story and, combined with good character development and pacing, make for an exciting tale. Goliath is a thriller that even a landlubber will appreciate ― so climb aboard!”
―Thomas Waite, bestselling author of the celebrate Lana Elkins Thriller series.

"The story takes us to a world that most of us don’t know with an extraordinary sense of place. The plot and characters are compelling which is the watchword of modern fiction. Corridan and Waid take us to the sea and a giant ship--compel us to know it, dazzling us with a pulse-pounding story and characters that will not let us go.”
