Produktbeschreibung

Sulu Sea is a story of adventure, romance and redemption. One night, off the coast of Nicaragua, the luxury liner Sulu Sea runs aground on a reef and sinks with great loss of life. At a hearing, her captain, Joaquin O'Hara, is blamed for the disaster. His reputation ruined, he goes into an emotional decline, drinking to excess. Finally he is reduced to being skipper of a little tramp steamer carrying cargo between the islands and ports of the Caribbean.But smuggling and drugs are endemic to the region hence trouble. While delivering a consignment of emeralds to a dealer in Cartagena, he is approached by a beautiful Colombian woman who offers him $30,000 to take her and several crates of her personal belongings from Cartagena to Miami. Once at sea, O'Hara discovers that the woman, Gabriella Torres, is the runaway wife of one of Colombia's most powerful drug lords, and one of the crates she brought aboard contain millions of dollars she has stolen from her husband and the cartel. The chase is on. Juan Torres wants his wife back, but he wants his money more. O'Hara initially eludes pursuit by sailing directly into the path of a hurricane, but then he decides that if they are to survive, they must become the hunter, not the hunted. When they reach Cuba, using some of Gabriella's stolen money, they purchase powerful weapons intended to defend their little ship against their enemies. As they battle against the forces of the drug cartel, Haitian pirates, Guatemalan bandits, and O'Hara's inner demons, an unexpected bond develops between Gabriella, the sophisticated Colombian aristocrat, and O'Hara, the dishonored, oft-drunken, sea captain. Together they return to the reef where the Sulu Sea went down and dive on the wreck seeking clues to clear O'Hara's name

Autorenporträt

James Boschert grew up in the then colony of Malaya in the early fifties. He learned first hand about terrorism while there as the Communist insurgency was in full swing. His school was burnt down and the family, while traveling, narrowly survived an ambush, saved by a Gurkha patrol, which drove off the insurgents. He went on to join the British army serving in remote places like Borneo and Oman. Later he spent five years in Iran before the revolution, where he played polo with the Iranian Army, developed a passion for the remote Assassin castles found in the high mountains to the north, and learned to understand and speak the Farsi language. Escaping Iran during the revolution, he went on to become an engineer and now lives in Arizona on a small ranch with his family and animals
