After the success of two best-selling novels, William Harris continues to fascinate readers by calling upon his intimate knowledge of Savannah people, history, and surroundings. WASSAW SOUND brings back beloved characters and weaves a tale of intrigue in the Low Country. Spanning from the 1950's to the present, the story is centered around an actual event in which a hydrogen bomb was jettisoned into Wassaw Sound in February 1958 by a damaged B-47 bomber. While WASSAW SOUND revolves around the story of the Tybee Bomb, it is about much more. It speaks of the power of lifelong friendships, the pain of unrequited love, the fruitlessness of unfettered hatred, and the magnificence of faith and its power to overcome. Most people are familiar with the buildings and parks in the historic section of Savannah, but few know the beauty and splendor of the marshes, rivers, and islands that lie to the east of the city. In WASSAW SOUND Harris takes the reader on a tour de force of these places replete with vivid descriptions of the flora, fauna, and seductive landscape of the area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written with lots of local flavor...
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2008

I have now completed three recent novels about the lost "Tybee Bomb" all of which are based on a true incident in 1958. A bomber, after being involved with an in-air collision with another military aircraft, drops a nuclear bomb core off of Tybee Island Georgia before attempting an emergency landing at nearby Hunter air field in Savannah. This novel explains what might happen if terrorists discover the location of the lost bomb and attempt to use it. Amazingly, this obvious thriller is almost more of a love story than an action story.

"Wassaw Sound" has the appealing strong character development and you feel like you know these people by the end of the book. (My only minor criticism is that maybe we got just a tiny too much history of these characters.) But I love depth including the development of rich details of place of Savannah, Thunderbolt, and coastal Georgia - all adding to the credibility to the story. The story incorporates sometimes forgotten local and US history and includes a tie into the Cuban boat lift and other historical events that us older readers may remember.

Last week I was on Tybee Island visiting with friends and they gave me more history about the author - a well known resident of this small island community. Apparently the author has a medical background and this expertise serves to make the story even more interesting.

I stayed up late finishing this book and trust that other readers will do the same. A good read.

Excellent book that takes place in one of my favorite locales (Coastal Georgia). Terrific characters and a wonderful plot that centers around a very real historical event that is still unsolved. Dr. Harris is one of my favorites authors and compares to Pat Conroy.

The book was good but there was a lot of typing error making it at times hard to understand. Someone should look it over and correct theses errors so it will be more enjoyable. I found myself stopping to figure out what these errors were and it took away from the story.

There were more typos in this book than I’ve ever seen. Was it edited ? Loved all the local references. Everybody here has heard stories about the Tybee bomb.

5.0 out of 5 stars The novel is based on a true event; the loss of a nuclear bomb. It’s very timely in this day of global terrorism.

I really enjoyed this book because the story takes place in and around the city where I live. I have actuality fished these same waters and still do. Who knows, I may yet catch my anchor line on the bomb. I first read this novel, based on an actual event, when it was first published shortly after moving here to the Coastal Empire. I just read it again on the 70th anniversary of THE Tybee Bomb. The yarn was better the second time after having run and fishing The Wausau Sound.

I agree with the previous review. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK FOR $9.99. The story starts very well but then just ends. I had no idea I was only buying a partial story. I want my money back...

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book about Savannah yet.

This is the third book by this author and his best yet. This is an exciting story with memorable characters. It is set in one of the most fascinating cities in America and the historical background is the story of our times. Dr. Harris' father was the sheriff and many of the seemingly fictional events are based on true stories.

I loved Delerium of the Brave, but this was even better. This is a page turner and also a romantic tale. It is set in a beautiful part of the world and Harris captures the atmosphere of marshes and salt water. The excitement of the story will keep you reading through the night.
