Hurricane Force is my first novel. It’s a sailing thriller set in the Caribbean in the 1970s and has had rave reviews, including one from well-known author, Alexander McCall Smith. It should come with a government health warning as it may rob you of your sleep. You won’t be able to put it down!
“Tom Cunliffe is set to become the Dick Francis of
the sea. This highly readable novel is nail-bitingly
exciting as well as being very well-written.
Exceptionally enjoyable.”
ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH
Bestselling author,
including No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series

WHAT READERS THINK ABOUT IT
“A great story, original but in the finest tradition, built on foundations of impeccable seamanship and beautifully told. Everyone who has ever set foot on a boat should read this book.” MARINE QUARTERLY
“Every word carries the weight of decades of saltwater experience from a man who really knows. What a tale! I couldn’t put it down.” CLASSIC BOAT
“The rhythm, pace, and lilt of Tom Cunliffe’s storytelling are like a well-found boat flying under steady trades. We are lifted along through the seascape of the story, effortlessly propelled by the deftly drawn characters, lively dialogue, and corking plot. His rendering of an island community and its people is tangy and as crisp as a sharp-sliced lime.” WENDY MITMAN CLARKE former editor-in-chief, SAIL
“A gripping Caribbean thriller fusing the forces of nature and man, from a legend of offshore sailing.” ALL AT SEA
“Tom Cunliffe has always been a raconteur par excellence and his move into fiction is a welcome one. In Hurricane Force he spins a yarn that draws you into a dark web of intrigue. This is a real page turner with a lively, salt-infused narrative that will have you gripped right up to the thrilling denouement.” SAILING TODAY
“What a terrific read you have so beautifully created with this book. Your book is exceptional both with the plot and the characters. It makes for a tremendously good read. I bought the Kindle version and I’ve found that it’s very difficult to put down! My wife is buying her own copy as she’s fed up waiting for me to finish.” RICHARD KEEN
