About the Book

On a crisp May morning, 220 miles east of the Chesapeake Bay in the Atlantic Ocean, crew members of an oil tanker investigate a distant object. They recover a life raft and two people - one dead, the other barely alive - and a backpack that provides the sole clue to unraveling the mystery behind their discovery. Months earlier, Nelson Sharpe and his fiancée, Quinney, had signed up to be part of a crew of four on a 1200-mile sailboat delivery. Nelson set out determined to improve his maritime competency by overcoming his fear of sailing at night and in stormy weather. Mechanical malfunctions plagued their departure. They then missed a critical weather window and eventually found themselves on a collision course with a colossal Canadian weather front. As the days passed, Nelson's confidence faltered. He lost the captain's respect and faced persistent bullying from a crew member who disregarded boundaries with Quinney. Having contended with high seas, draining aloneness, debilitating seasickness, and nose-to-nose confrontations - the crew was forced to come together to battle a powerful storm.

Review :
"A thrilling adventure that offers a compelling glimpse into the perils of life on the ocean" - Kirkus Reviews The title may be "Momentum Lost," but the book itself is anything but. From stem to stern, the storyline sweeps the reader along, riding the crest of a wave that is doomed to break. Can the captain and crew on this Atlantic passage come together to survive the impending storms, one interpersonal, the other frighteningly real? Author Jeff Denning's imagery is beautiful and vivid, his characters well-drawn and complex. This book has everything: heart-stopping drama, deep self-reflection, the thrill of sailing, and both tenderness and tension. Most of all, it has heart. I couldn't put it down. Cindy G - May 2025 Author Jeff Denning is a gifted storyteller. In "Momentum Lost," the pace is fast and the tension relentless. The book begins with a long-time sailor putting himself to the test in an effort to confront his fears and self-doubts. Following a brief but idyllic interlude, the sailor's search leads to a harrowing journey in which a mismatched crew battles an unforgiving sea and, at times, each other. Dennings descriptions are so vivid I felt myself being tossed around along with the crew as they fought for their very survival. Read this book, but you may want to take some Dramamine and don a life jacket before you start! Tony G - June 2025
