A Novel

By: Christian Williams

Narrated by: Christian williams

The eccentric millionaire Robert “Bobby” Ayers has disappeared again, this time alone on his 60-foot luxury sailboat. Behind him he leaves the wreckage of a controversial life - three ex-wives, angry creditors, and the shadow of a murder in his past. He travels the endless expanse of the Pacific cloaked in stealth, only to meet his future there in the form of a young woman more mysterious than he is. Left behind is his only daughter, Laura, who must fulfill the commands of his living trust in a journey that leads her ever deeper into a fractured world of family, revelation, and personal destiny.

Great novel

I love the way he narrates, his sailing knowledge and the way he describes details of sea life.

Author's style

A fan of the author's YouTube sailing videos. His writing carries over from his solo sailing whimsy and insight that crosses the line that land lovers do not have.

Great story, check out his YouTube sailing channel

Great book and admire his single handed sailing! Check out his YouTube channel for more on that.

A great story to ponder your life by.

I myself a sailor and in search for adventure listened and thought of my legacy.

Three and counting

I’ve read (listened) to Rarotonga three times now. I love this book. The setting involves sailing - single handed sailing, and the author speaks with obvious authority from that perspective, but the story is really about people; individual people and relationships between people. The plot keeps you wondering, even after the first read - at least in my case. I sent this to my cousin who is an adventurer and skilled blue-water sailor, but I would recommend this to anyone who loves adventure and wonders about the workings of our own minds. Two thumbs up.
