An abandoned sailing yacht in the Caribbean brings together three unanchored souls, drifting through life without hope and purpose.

Firebird was constructed by a wealthy industrialist who dreamed of sailing the world. Years later, the old ketch is about to be scuttled when Sam Berrenger rescues it, hoping for a new start to his own dead-end life. As layers of rust and decay are stripped away, Firebird’s tragic history is revealed.

“You don’t have to be a sailor, or know anything about sailboats, to be swept away by Firebird.”
—William(Bing) Bingham, Screen Writer of John McCain’s Faith of My Fathers and Song Writer/Recording Artist

“Bob Holt is a master of dialogue, and of succulent detail, in this story of love and danger in the enchanting Caribbean. The juxtaposition of beauty and evil could not be better done.”
—Ann Seaman, Best Selling Author of Americas Most Hated Woman and Swaggart

“Great story. The sailing description captures what it’s like to be on a large yacht, and the captain is the real thing. There are many potential “Firebirds” in the Caribbean. This novel will inspire you to follow your dreams.”
—Captain Scott Self, Winner 2005 Trans Pac Trophies and National Sailing Championships
