Brits Abroad  

Stop the Ship – A Brits Abroad Novel

What happens when you take a shipload of sun-seeking Brits, add unlimited buffets, cheap cocktails, and more drama than a West End play? You get Stop the Ship — the laugh-out-loud, can’t-put-down story of what really happens on a Mediterranean cruise when the passengers are every bit as unpredictable as the sea itself.

From the very first page, you’ll be swept aboard with Dave, Sally, John, Rose, Charlie, Ted, and the rest of the gang — ordinary holidaymakers with extraordinary talent for stumbling into trouble. Whether it’s queue-jumping at the breakfast buffet, getting lost in Barcelona, or misplacing one of their own on shore leave, this is a holiday where nothing goes to plan… and yet everything makes for a story worth telling.

Written with the wit, pace, and sparkle you’d expect if Steve Hopkins himself had decided to holiday with the Costa del Chaos crowd, Stop the Ship is both comedy and cautionary tale. You’ll laugh at the absurdities, nod in recognition at the all-too-true characters, and secretly thank your stars you weren’t in the cabin next door.

Why read this book? Because you deserve a holiday without leaving your armchair. Because you’ll meet characters you swear you’ve already met at the airport bar. And because life’s too short not to enjoy a story that delivers belly laughs on every page.

So pour yourself a gin and tonic, pull up a deck chair (or the sofa will do), and climb aboard. But be warned: once you start reading, you may just miss your stop.

Buy Stop the Ship today — because laughter, like holidays, should be booked in advance.
