Produktbeschreibung

The year is 1594. Sea Dogs and Sea Rovers rule the seas, laying claim to the riches to be had from Spain's gold- and silver-laden ships traversing the oceans.
The Sea Dogs are Privateers, lording over the sea under the authority of England's Queen Elizabeth. Armed with fast ships and heavy guns, they carry with them Letters of Marque giving them tacit permission to plunder Spanish ships on behalf of the Crown to enrich English coffers.
Sea Rovers, a self-acclaimed title for those known and despised as Pirates, are the thieves, cutthroats, and murderous rogues, who pillage and plunder ships with little regard for life. Some are glorified as seagoing Robin Hoods, but their exploits as robbers of the seas are on behalf of only themselves.
Two dedicated sea commanders, the Rover known as the Captain of the Coin and a Lord Admiral serving in Her Majesty's Navy, both highly respected by their peers and crews, have and will again encounter the other on the high seas. The cat-and-mouse game between the renegade Pirate and the decorated Privateer is driven by both resentment and respect while spawning personal battles with destinies and memories. This is the tale of seagoing heroes on opposite sides of maritime law, steadfast in their loyalties, and far more alike than they could admit or would have imagined. (Contains some adult language)

Autorenporträt

Born in and raised all around Sacramento, CA, despite my many travels, I tend to base my novels here in the Golden State. I have many eclectic interests and experiences (race announcer, radio deejay, tour guide, car restorer, motorcyclist, and more) that are reflected in my stories, and are the reason I haven't restricted my writings to any single genre. Be it Historic NASCAR (Hiding Behind Thunder), auto racing (SPECTRUM: A Hero of a Different Color), playing a pirate at many a Renaissance Faire (The Captain of the Coin and the Lord Admiral), or simply my skewed sense of humor (Heart of Ezdar), I take whatever sparks my creativity and run with it. Enjoy the ride!
