Book Reviews of Song of the Sirens
Book Review: magnivicent
Summary: 5 Stars
A well written book in the same format as Fate is the Hunter, perhaps the best described as the "Fate is the Hunter " of the seas.
I simply could not put this book down, and wished it would never end.
A great read
Summary of Song of the Sirens
Few men have lived a life of such challenge and adventure as Ernest K. Gann. In the best selling Fate is the Hunter, he recounted his many years in a professional flying career. In a similar fashion, Song of the Sirens is the story of the ships he has sailed and owned; of his years as master of a commercial fishing vessel, of ocean crossings and of storms and emergencies encountered at sea. Song of the Sirens steps aboard seventeen of Gann s most beloved vessels. Filled with moments of both high drama and reflective calm, Gann s ode to his seventeen sirens reveals the true romantic within every sailor. Ernest K. Gann was a sailor, a pilot, and above all, a writer.20th Century Books
