MALTA 1941. The war has created a soldier-saluting adventure for eleven-year-old Joe Zarb, until a telegram arrives with news of papa, Victor. 1961. A nurse and a former RAF pilot travel to Malta. Beth is looking for Joe, the son of her wartime husband, Victor. Her companion, Stuart, is seeking revenge for horrific burns suffered in the war.
Intimate and expansive, this tantalising thriller pulses with mysteries, secrets, and surprisesMan at Sea is both timely and historical, at once rich in implication and action. Like the sea itself the story is swift, deep, exhilarating, and ultimately unpredictable.- Kevin MacNeil, author of The Brilliant and Forever; "A rich exploration of identity, war and sacrifice. Poignant and beautifully written." - Rachelle Atalla, author of The Pharmacist; "In this beguiling book, Liam Bell deftly brings together two parallel worlds. In one, the scars of war are healing. In the other, revenge waits, patiently, ticking like a bomb." - Dr Mandy Haggith,author of the Stone Stories Trilogy
