Publisher's Synopsis
Pirates are back, and they steal super tankers. A tanker is boarded, its captain murdered and the crew cast adrift in damaged lifeboats. The Collectors, Petros Kyriades and William (Bear) Morris, are charged with updating the defences on the Ocean Shipping Line's vessels. Linda Liu is smart, intelligent, and ambitious. Her pirate team are hungry young men who operate modern, sophisticated equipment. To them life is cheap and their prime objective is profit. Captain Richard Scott understands the game, but the rules have changed. With an attack expected, The Collectors and their armed team direct the ship's defences.
