Out of the Blue

16 November 2008.

The Trench, Puerto Rico, Caribbean Sea.

‘AZUL’, the largest, most expensive gigayacht in the world, is missing. Special Investigator Lukasz Stone is dispatched from London to the scene. But Lukasz has problems of his own: a missing forty-million-euro sailboat that does not want to be found, a vengeful client, and the lethal Mills.

As the body count rises, the threat to Stone climbs.

Aided by a group of misfits, Lukasz wages war on an invisible enemy to discover the truth.

The fight takes him to Florida, the Caribbean, and Europe in a race against time and certain death.

Out of the blue Book

Fantastic!!

Out of the blue? It certainly was for me.. so unexpected.. it’s a shame it had to end.. went to bed with this every night.. the author is brilliant!!

watch out Lee Child…,

I’ve got a rotten cold, but having to stay in bed today meant that I could settle down and read Out of the blue all in one go. It’s a page turner. The plot is intriguing, the insider knowledge of super yachts and insurance draws the reader into a world full of deception and greed but also of humour and humanity. The characters are well drawn and believable. I loved Out of the Blue, you will too.

A well-written page-turner

I really liked the writing style and enjoyed the level of description and detail. The characters were believable and well-rounded. It was a real page-turner – I had trouble putting it down. Whole-heartedly recommended.

Out of the blue (Lukasz Stone 1)

A wonderful yarn well worth taking a look at. Twists, turns, a fun thrilled read and witty to boot. Smith’s musings are clearly based on his knowledge and keen understanding of insurance and marine matters. The Royal Navy missed a trick with this man!
