I’m hoping that one of you bright readers can help me. When I was a freshman in high school (1979) I read a book. I do not know if the book came out that year or ten years before. I had just started to enjoy mystery reading and so I did not pay attention to the author or any part of the book that could help me locate this book today.
Some of the details are fuzzy, but the book was primarily about an elderly (50 - 60 yrs) couple that decides that they want to get away to celebrate their retirement. They decide to go on a cruise and to save money, they decide to shop around for prices. While trying to find the best price, they come across an advertisement for a private cruise on a smaller (50 – 75 feet) boat. They decide to take the cruise and after being on the water strange things begin to happen.
1. Little by little the crew requires more help from the couple,
2. The husband almost cuts his thumb off, and they do not give him medical attention
3. The boat gets stuck on a sand bar and they ask the husband to get out and pull the boat,
4. Their food begins to be rationed.
They end up just being tortured on this private cruise getaway. The story ends by the couple finding the captain’s notes and they discover that the captain is experimenting on how long subjects can be pushed passed exhaustion.
I’ve been looking for this book ever since high school just so that my wife and I can read it. If you can help in any way please email me back. Thank you.

I have Mark Twain's book Life on the Mississippi, Author's National Edition, Volume IX. I can not find a match to this book anywhere. The copyright date is 1903, the book is red, not green, and 481 pages instead of the reported 500 something pages. Also, the thing that is really getting me is that on the back of the title page is a handwritten paragraph that says, "This is the authorized Uniform Edition of all my books. Mark Twain. The signature is a match to what is available on the net for comparison. I need some help from someone that may know about this book. Do I need to research further? Could it be? Respectfully submitted, Donna

I bought this book because of its comments on several websites. I guess that I'm picky and do a bit of research before spending the money on a book from an unknown author. After reading Stellar Wind 2012 all I can say is: Three cheers to the author! It was a fun, epic adventure. I was entrigued from page one and didnt stop reading until I finished 2 days later. Bravo! Though I wanted to learn more about what will happen on the famous Mayan date: Dec. 21, 2012, I understand that no one REALLY knows what will happen and that all writings are mere speculations. In a fun adventure and scary beginning, Stellar Wind 2012 gives its versions what is happening underfoot today and what will happen. It was a "save the world" type story that had me laughing, worried, on the verge of tears and ENTERTAINED! And isnt THAT what a good book is all about!?? Three cheers Catherine! Hopefully some famous Hollywood Producer reads it and turns it into the block buster film it has the makings to be! It's a book for all ages and will make a great film. I'm keeping my eye on you. You'll be in Oprah's book club and on the best selling list soon! I'd like to read your next novel! Jasmine

Off topic? What's that supposed to mean? Does that mean we don't respond to anything anyone else said, because then we'd be on topic? Everyone just starts an entirely new conversation every time? No one answer! This is off topic!
