Leesburg, VA, July 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- DataTrends Books, a division of DataTrends Publications, Inc., announces the publication of the Amazon.com Kindle e-Book version of “South China Sea: A Novel of Modern Piracy,” by Colum Fitzroy.
Jake Donovan is a big man with a reputation in Southeast Asia as a tough insurance investigator, a salvage expert who always gets the job done. But signs of failing health have convinced him to give it all up, return to the States with his beautiful fiancée, settle down and write his memoirs. Until a multimillion-dollar yacht owned by a former lover is hijacked. Her husband is brutally murdered and her teenage son is missing. When a suspiciously halfhearted police investigation fails to come up with any answers, she turns to one last hope: former lover Jake Donovan.
Meanwhile, the modern day Bluebeard who pirated the yacht has his own plans: hijack a gold-laden cargo ship bound for Japan from the Philippines. And finally get revenge on his hated half-brother Jake for allowing his wife and child to die in a squalid Hong Kong refugee camp. It all seems to be working out beautifully for Morrison until a few minor obstacles get in his way – his double-crossing partners, a fanatical terrorist, and Jake Donovan.
The truly gut-wrenching piracy action of the last fifty years has been in the heavily-trafficked waters off the shores of Hong Kong, Malaysia, Macao, Taiwan, the Philippines, Viet Nam -- the South China Sea. When modern pirate Finn Morrison hooks up with the Red Chinese to hijack a cargo ship loaded with gold - and highly explosive ammonium nitrate - all hell breaks loose. Double-crossed by the Chinese and left for dead, Morrison works out a deal with the U.S. Navy to recover the stolen ship and the gold.
But it's an uneasy truce: Morrison is forced to cooperate with his half-brother Jake.
With the Navy preoccupied with a renegade Chinese gunboat, Morrison, Donovan, and the remaining pirates storm the cargo ship, battle heavily-armed commandos who are determined to get the gold to Chinese waters. They eventually secure the ship, only to make deadly discovery: a fanatical terrorist's sabotage has turned the vessel into an explosives-packed, out-of-control juggernaut steaming toward Hong Kong harbor.
Can it be stopped before an unprecedented disaster occurs?
With high seas piracy now a serious global issue, “South China Sea” - suspenseful and action-packed from beginning to end - is utterly right for the times, a riveting tale of piracy, murder, revenge, greed and treachery.
