Publisher's Synopsis
It is the late 1700s and America has won its independence. Ships sail across the Atlantic delivering goods back and forth from America and the Caribbean to Europe. English, Spanish, and Dutch ships routinely make the passage from America and the Caribbean to their home ports back home. While these ships have become bigger, faster, and more reliable in the past three hundred years since Columbus landed, one thing is still threatens them; pirates.
Captain Nonn has a vendetta against the British for what they did to his family; those are the ships he tends to attack with his battle-tested ship, the 18 Fathoms. When he learns about a hoard of gold that is bound for King Charles III of Spain, it is too tempting to pass up. Captain Nonn plays a game of cat and mouse with pursuing British ships as he tries to make his way to Hispaniola and steal this treasure of a lifetime.
