"The Shout" by Chris Snell is published
Exciting new novel about a lifeboat crew and harbour life, set in Cornwall.
- (1888PressRelease) January 14, 2016 - About the Book "The Shout" by Chris Snell: The sea is not a playground. A huge wave lifted the stern of the coaster, propeller and rudder, out of the froth and oil just as Bill Hawken tried to swing the Tamar Class lifeboat into a better position…
The crew never know what dangers, or even stranger outcomes, a call for a lifeboat launch will bring. The complexities of family life, interaction with hostile holiday-home owners, criminal activity, peer group tensions coupled with the day-to-day business of harbour life and other events, make for an exciting living.
About the Author:
Chris Snell lives in Falmouth. There are four generations of RNLI lifeboat crew in his family in Cornwall. His non-fiction work on structural analysis was published by Pergamon Press and Chris has also completed another novel called Sarbacane which tells the story of a couple of army officers appalled at what they encounter upon returning to civilian life, and they set about redressing the ills perpetrated by drug dealers through to corrupt bankers.
Excerpt from the Book:
"Look out, she's coming down.' Pascoe didn't need to voice the obvious, as he braced himself against the seat's harness. In the gloom the crew caught a glimpse of the rudder flapping. The reason the coaster had put out a mayday call in the first place.
They weren't going to make it.
The leading edge of the first blade to hit them scythed into the side rail at the stern of the rescue craft. They felt a shudder and the tug of metal being ripped from decking as the rail wrapped itself around the propeller descending on them like a huge kitchen blender. The lifeboat pitched upwards and veered away from its nemesis, but stayed uncharacteristically bow high, with a distinct list to port. The upward bias wasn't normal, but the crew, conscious of the change, had more pressing responsibilities to contend with than any unease about the attitude of the boat. With the kind of instinct developed over years of navigating these coastal waters, they somehow felt the change wasn't threatening. Intuition took precedent over anxiety in a carefully selected and trained crew."
