About this listen
People who survive the most terrible circumstances become extraordinary.
Walter Alister Bowen III is a privileged young man, with aspirations at the White House. The boat is modern, but the crew follows a code-of-conduct centuries old. Their actions and motives are barbaric. When the pirates discover "Wally" half-drowned, adrift, and alone, that's only the beginning of his problems. The captain uses him, and puts the youth through one ordeal after another.
Transcendence Island is a fast-paced, plot-driven novel. Set in contemporary times - spoiler alert: He survives, graduates college, and becomes president of the United States. He recounts his misadventures on the high seas, in a tell-all memoir, saying the experience was his real education
Welcome to Transcendence Island!
Warning! When you start listening, you won't be able to stop!

Helicopter pilot Sara Denning joins an all-male navy battle group with little fanfare - and that's just the way she likes it. Her philosophy is simple - blend in, be competent, and above all, never do anything to stand out as a woman. But somewhere along the way, she lost herself - her feminine, easy-going soul now buried under so many defensive layers, she can't reach it anymore.

Before he was anointed to carry on the legacy of Robert Ludlum's Janson Command series, and before he collaborated with Clive Cussler on the fan favorite Isaac Bell series, Justin Scott created this suspenseful adventure tale, a novel of love and revenge set on the high seas. Written in 1978, this is considered by many to be one of the best maritime thrillers of all time. As an expert in the world of ships and sailing, Justin Scott creates an authentic maritime world, making The Shipkiller all the more thrilling because it could be a true story.
