The novel “Sails of Hope” by Rostov writer A. Rybin is, first of all, a detective story that unfolds against the backdrop of an exciting journey across the sea. A young journalist and major, who by chance ended up on a training sailing ship, is trying to solve several difficult tasks in order to defend his good name and save the lives of his loved ones. Since the novel is about young people, it would not be without love, of course. The pages about the journey, which lasted several months, are written with subtle irony, with such passion and spontaneity that the reader involuntarily begins to worry about the main character. The book is intended for a wide range of readers, but will primarily be of interest to those who are raving about the seas and oceans.
