Its a bit of a swashbuckle and sends Marty and Caroline to the Caribbean to counter a resurgence in piracy.  Of course it doesn't turn out to be that simple and he gets captured, has to be rescued, discovers that he hates slavery and that the French are involved.  It was fun to right and the people who proof read it said it was fun to read so I hope you enjoy it as well. I am Christopher C Tubbs and I am descendent of a long line of Dorset clay miners and have traced my family tree back to the 16th century in the Isle of Purbeck. I left school at 16 to take an apprentiship in Avionics and have been a public speaker at conferences for most of my career in the Aerospace and Automotive industries and was one of the founders of a successful games company back in the 1990's.  Now in my late fifties I finally got around to writing the story I had going around in my head for many years. Thanks to inspiration from the great sea authors like Alexander Kent, Dewey Lambdin, Patrick O'Brian and Dudley Pope I was finally able to put digit to keyboard and start writing the Dorset Boy series.   I make no apologies that I write for myself. The stories emerge as I write and I am often surprised by the twists and turns that they take. My dog, Blaez, appears in the books as he sits by me as I write and it would be unfair to leave him out.
