First and foremost, Goliath is a fast-paced, riveting page-turner that keeps its foot on the gas, all the way to the exciting and satisfying conclusion. This is a story about men and women who have made the sea their life and it was written by men who know that world inside and out and whose own love of the sea is apparent in the writing. Corridan and Waid have successfully captured the constantly-changing “landscape” of the sea from its calm beauty to its unforgiving power.You don’t become a successful commercial salvage operator if you aren’t prepared for the absolute worst the ocean can throw at you. In Goliath, Captain Sonny Wade has everything from bad weather, to a mutinous crew, to an environmental disaster of epic proportions tossed his way. In Sonny, Corridan and Waid have created an ocean-going everyman whom you cannot resist rooting for. He is a quintessential American character: hard working, stubborn, indefatigable, and honorable. Sonny Wade can be irascible and over-demanding of those around him but at the end of the day, he is incapable of doing the wrong thing, the dishonorable thing.Corridan and Waid have brought a world I knew little about — the incredibly dangerous world of open sea salvage operations — to vivid life. The vessels themselves, particularly Goliath, the world’s biggest oil tanker, and Skeleton, Sonny Wade’s salvage tug, read more like characters than they do inanimate objects. The technical descriptions are fastidious but never boring, the plotting is well-paced, and the characters are all well drawn, from Mary, Sonny’s headstrong daughter who can more than hold her own with any of the guys, to the blue collar, hard-partying, harder working crew of the Skeleton, to Dal Sharpe, Sonny’s rapacious, unscrupulous rival.Hard to believe this is Corridan’s and Waid’s debut novel. I highly recommend Goliath. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let's have more! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2017* As a Merchant Mariner with 45 years working on Tugs I can say that this book is one of the few that maintain a realism throughout the story.Waid and Corridan have wriiten a story that I could get into because it felt real and I hope they do more along the same line.Its a great read and the only let down was when it ended .They did bring it to a good conclusion but the mark of a good bookis wishing it wouldn't end and this book did that and more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Whoo! What a ride!! *by L***) on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017* This is one of the most high-octane, super-suspenseful thrillers I’ve ever read. For openers, the Russian ship Bennkah (which means “Goliath”), perhaps the world’s largest oil tanker, suffers a Titanic-like series of disasters, except with fire instead of ice, that runs it aground near Alaska’s Aleutian Islands and turns it into a blazing inferno that kills all on board. The David hoping to claim this Goliath is the little salvage vessel Skeleton, captained by Sonny Wade—known for his seafaring skills, but with an initially unspecified cloud over his past. His crew consists primarily of his daughter, Mary, and five men, including Matt, a rather mysterious newcomer. The Bennkah doesn’t actively oppose their efforts, but they do face a challenge from another Goliath, a larger salvage company with a bigger and better-equipped boat that races them to the wreck. They win that race, but that is only the first of many perils involved in freeing the giant ship without releasing its precious cargo. Disagreements and even fights also break out among the crew, as their back-stories and Sonny’s are slowly revealed.I didn’t know some of the nautical terms the book used, but that didn’t slow the pace, and I appreciated the detail: I could practically feel the wind and rain in my face. I also liked the characters and rooted for them every hard-fought inch of the way. In addition to the suspenseful physical action, the story unraveled several mysteries relating to Sonny, other crew members, and the Bennkah itself. People who like the TV series The Deadliest Catch will love this, as will anyone who likes a rousing sea story or a first class, hold-your-breath thriller of any kind. I certainly hope that the authors will do more such books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/33667328-goliath-a-thriller](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/33667328-goliath-a-thriller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
