As a real sea-going ship’s Captain, the author has an excellent insight into the world of all things related to ships and the ports that they visit. His sailing experience extends to more than 60 countries, hundreds of ports and spans five decades since his first voyage in 1976.During a short break from the deep-sea life, he enjoyed, amongst a few other things, time as an auctioneer, as a gym owner, TV presenter and finally a motel owner in his adopted home country of New Zealand. His wildly varied life experiences ensure a vivid imagination, well suited to fiction writing.
A chance meeting with an orphaned young woman in a seedy port bar, leads a well-seasoned, salty old dog into a chaotic adventure on the high seas involving money, drugs and violence, with a little bit of romance thrown in for good measure.
The fishing vessel he becomes trapped on, is not all that it appears to be at first sight, whilst its owner, the Fat Russian, displays a cruelty and cunning well beyond the norm. A climactic conclusion will leave the reader craving more from our hero, The Captain.
