Description
In the Bering Sea, Bennkah, the largest oil tanker ever built, newly commissioned in Vladivostok, Russia, is on its maiden voyage. Well-respected Captain Nicholas Borodin is at the helm, and for a reason only he knows, his agitation is palpable.
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 tanker.
A Mayday call alerts Captain 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 Dal Sharpe, Sonny's nemesis and former employer--the owner of the largest salvage business in all of the northwest--also hears the call. A heart-stopping race is on to claim the hulk before it contaminates the entire north Pacific Rim.
But Sonny learns there's more at stake than anyone realizes--a catastrophe of monstrous proportions.
Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler

Reviews

"With Goliath, Corridan and Waid have woven a gripping novel in the style of Michael Crichton and the duo of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child" --San Francisco Book Review
"A deftly written and riveting read from beginning to end, Goliath is an exceptionally entertaining thriller." --Midwest Book Review
"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." --Allan Leverone, New York Times best-selling author
"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." --Alan Jacobson, USA Today best-selling author
"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
"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." --Thomas Waite, best-selling author
