Publisher's Synopsis
In the years immediately following World War II, the influence of the western world hangs heavy on the islands in the South Pacific. A harvest of new economic resources provides a wealth of prosperity to those who can afford the gamble. While most rush to invest in the new found abundance, others plan to steal it... Wings of the Pirate is an adventure tale that follows the treasure hunting exploits of renowned archaeologist Alexa Reid. During her journey in the South Pacific, she teams up with a wild card ex-Navy flyer Jimmy Ferral who runs a seaplane charter service. Chased by air pirates, the pair runs into a medley of colorful island characters while the one-eyed air pirate captain, P. M. Rasmus, is close on their tail. Who is he and why does he pursue our heroine so intently?
