Recent release 'The Cruise' from Covenant Books author C. R. MacBean, is a colorful story that follows the experiences of Hank, a frazzled rancher from Central Texas, as he reluctantly sets off on an eventful ocean cruise on the behest of his wife Dee and daughter Donna to visit a dying aunt.
GATESVILLE, Texas, January 7, 2019 (Newswire.com) - C. R. MacBean, a Vietnam vet and retired Army officer who lives in a ranch in Central Texas with his wife, has completed his new book, “The Cruise”: a vivid, textured novel about family—and other people.
MacBean shares, “Hank, overworked and underpaid, is trying his damnedest to save a rundown cattle ranch in Central Texas. It is a long on work, short on help, situation.
In a developing drought, his wife and daughter decide he needs an ocean-going cruise to cure his frazzled nerves and horrid disposition. If he hadn’t traveled a good deal in the army, and if his young ranch hands had some notion of work and accountability, it might have sounded good. But he’d seen all the world he wanted and the millennials he hired have no work ethic at all.
It took a dying relative and distraught wife to convince him to consider the cruise. Always fixing things, he spent hours figuring how to make the cruise useful and effective.
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, C. R. MacBean’s new book is a striking, often hilariously astute observation of the underlying expectations of ocean cruises and the people who willingly go on them.
As the narrator encounters all manner of the unexpected and expected on the trip, readers will feel strangely at home in the twists, turns, squabbles, dead-ends, and other myriad surprises, never quite knowing what will happen next.
Readers can purchase “The Cruise” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
