Out of these boyhood fantasies of courage and quest has come The Coming of the Whirlpool: Ship Kings 1, the first in a four-book franchise featuring the seafaring exploits of Dow Amber, a woodcutter's son who was destined to become the greatest mariner of his time. It was this macabre and cracking story and the way Poe portrays the fear and shrieking of the whirlpool, there is none better.'' Edgar Allan Poe's A Descent into the Maelstrom I read as a boy and I was obsessed with the story. All the great sea stories have a grimness, a greyness and a sadness to them. ''My real love is for sea tales and sea lore for the myths and legends and the wonders of the sea. ''I don't know the sea, I've probably been on a ferry to Tasmania once and I remember a trip to the Barrier Reef with friends,'' McGahan says.
