Sea Cruise

Sea Cruise

Late-life Romance Becomes a Terrifying Battle for Survival on the Open Ocean

When they meet on beautiful, extradition-free Cape Verde, Victor Harding and Alva Batek just want to enjoy retirement and put their colorful criminal pasts behind them. But when revenge-seeking crime victims threaten their lives at Alva’s luxurious Cape Verde retreat, their peaceful plans are shattered. Victor and Alva plan a great escape—an exciting Caribbean ocean adventure on a sixty-foot yacht, relying on Victor’s deep sailing skills and the hope of new bonds among long-estranged family members invited on the voyage.

Their careful plans go wildly awry when a Venezuelan drug cartel’s fleet of modern narco-subs is decimated by rival cartels and they fall back on an old cocaine-trafficking tactic: hijacking a sailboat.

Victor and Alva’s sailboat.

As their sea cruise spirals out of control, the family is ensnared in a deadly battle for survival with a charming Irish hijacker, a sociopathic cartel boss, rebellious mercenaries, and a series of life-threatening catastrophes that test the family’s wits and courage. For fans of action-packed thrillers spiced with wit and plenty of twists, Sea Cruise is a riveting voyage.
