Dead Reckoning

- A Caribbean Pirate Adventure

Om Dead Reckoning

Seafaring historical adventure, perfect for fans of Julian Stockwin, Patrick O'Brian and Bernard Cornwell. "A real adventure story, the like of which I have not read in many a year. Suspend reality, hold on & enjoy the adventure" - R.P. Smith, Amazon reviewer. ** Leo is born in Spanish Panama in 1659. When he is twelve years old he witnesses the violent rape and murder of his mother by three of the Caribbean's most feared pirates: Tarr, Blake and Hornigold, and swears revenge at all costs. Gabriella is trapped in an abusive marriage to a ruthless Dutch slave trader, who is in business with the same English cut-throats. She risks all to escape with her life. Leo and Gabriella meet aboard one of the most horrific ships in the Caribbean - a slaver - and join forces against their common enemy. They face a number of challenges as they battle not only the dangers of a life at sea, including storm, drowning, and being cast adrift in a crippled ship, but also repeated attacks by Blake and Hornigold. But their biggest threat proves to be each other. Can they reconcile their hearts in time for the fiercest battle in their quest of revenge, and survive the gallows? Dead Reckoning was long-listed in the 2011 Mslexia Novel Competition.
