Book Description
Wake of the Raven is a story of the world's corruption, of forbidden desire and its awful consequences.
In 1951, Stuart seeks to repair his broken marriage, and heads back to England in pursuit of his faithless wife. He must first cross the South China Sea to Singapore, a minor step in the voyage. But when an accident burdens him with the care of a precocious girl, the journey becomes a nightmarish odyssey through storm, desire and death.
The mere hundred miles or so of sea is now an impassable barrier, confining him and his bitter thoughts to a narrow strip of sand and jungle, and he is reduced to an animal struggle for survival, with nothing but the girl and thoughts of the dead to help him.
Like all people, evil wars in him with good, fear with ambition, desire with conscience. But when the girl's greater problems arouse his sympathy, it seems that good will triumph, for he unselfishly promises his help.
The result is a disaster that strides towards him fully armed, with disgrace, murder and suicide clenched in its fists.

SHAMELESS EXPLOITATION OF SELF- PUBLISHED BOOK,
By Tiggeroo "tigger" (Vancouver BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wake of the Raven (Paperback)
I would like to have known that this was a self-published book that sucks. It is a boring regurgitation of much better written tales told elsewhere. This book is not what it appears to be so beware. Google the author's name and you will see what I mean. I feel that I was tricked into buying this book and it was a waste of money!

A Highly Entertaining Novel,
This review is from: Wake of the Raven (Paperback)
The cover of this book is so striking I immediately wondered if what was inside was as interesting. And I soon found out that it was. It is, indeed, a captivating novel -- a page-turner from the first page. Worthington has done an excellent job of bringing two fascinating people to life. His plot, his writing and his characterization are all first-rate. The story centers around a man (Stuart) and a young girl (Tania) who are marooned on a small island in the South China Sea. It begins with a plane crash hear the island, with Stuart and Tania being the only survivors, and it details their day-to-day struggle to survive and stay alive on the small island. They soon become very fond of one another, and Stuart feels guilty and is worried about what people will think when they are finally rescued (if indeed they are).I found the book hard to put down and read it in two or three sittings.It ends with Stuart and Tania's rescue, but leaves you wondering what finally happens when they get back to England, and if their dreams come true. Maybe the answer will come in another novel. Highly recommended.
