What would you do?

Do you like fun books that really make you think? If so, then this is the book for you. A great summer read that will take you out on a beautiful yaught into the gorgeous waters of the Caribbean. Two couples who have not seen each other in years plan a seven day get-a-way on the luxury yaught, CANE MAIDEN. Sun, sailing, swimming, snorkeling, and reminiscing...all things that two couples would enjoy immensely. But then, everything goes wrong. After returning from a relaxing island dinner, the two couples find that their boat has been hijacked and they are being held captive on the beautiful boat that has now become thier prison. Working together the couples gain control of the vessel and then the lure of instant wealth changes each one of them--wife against husband, friend against friend. They each see each other, as well as him/herself, at their worst. What would you do to keep millions of dollars, if you had the chance. This book will make you wonder which character you would identify with. There are twists and turns all the way to the last page. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time...it really made me ask myself what I would do in such a situation. A great book to take with you on your next summer get-a-way.
