I read so many bad reviews of thrillers that I wanted to read that I decided to branch out and try something new. The first line/passage below made me worried that it was a poor purchase. Thankfully, having read up to chapter 16 now, I was wrong. It isn't' as bad as I feared.
"Three small boats skipped over the water on an intercept course with the colossal freighter looming in the afternoon haze. Coal black and sinewy Somalis and cream-coffee Arabian Yemenis, sixteen men in all, leaned into the wind, watched the ship grow on the horizon, and fingered their Kalashnikov rifles. None of the sixteen were new at this. They were all experienced pirates."
