WHAT’S THE BOOK ABOUT?
Pirates are Back and they Steal Super tankers.
HOW DOES THE BOOK START?
Chapter One
VLCC Goliath – Indian Ocean – 1st June 2014
Captain James Wood stepped onto the bridge.
“How are things, Mr Young?”
Second Officer Andy Young looked up from the electronic chart. “On course and on time, sir.”
Wood stared through the bridge windows. “I hope you realise if the fracking companies keep producing oil, we’ll be out of a job before long.”
Andy chuckled. “I doubt it, sir.”
“S…Sir,” stuttered the helmsman.
Both officers sensed the fear in his voice. An intruder clad in a black coverall, pressed an Uzi machine pistol against the man’s head.
The slim woman spoke, her voice harsh. “On the deck. Hands behind your heads.” She sneered. “One word and I kill you.”
James stepped forward as a storm of anger rose within him. “I am the Captain of this vessel and you can’t…”
A flash of disgust filled her eyes. The Uzi shifted and fired. A gaping red hole appeared in his chest and a mass of blood and bone spewed from his back. The storm of bullets came to an end and the stench of cordite filled the bridge.
Andy’s face paled, his body shook as bile filled his throat. He and the helmsman dropped to the deck.

TELL US ABOUT THE AUTHOR
At the age of fourteen I headed for the south of France where I worked as a deckhand on luxury yachts. On my return to the United Kingdom, I enlisted in the Royal Navy and found myself back at school. During my career, I travelled the world, qualified as an engineer, deck officer, boarding officer, a diver, parachutist and became part of an Air Sea Rescue team. This has given me tons of experience and scores of ideas. Why do I write – because I must.
