商品簡介
Two ships converge in the twilight, six hundred sea miles off Dakar. A voice calls across from one to the other. A chorus of powerful voices answers. The national hymn of Southern Free. Sails are furled. The two ships slow and come to a halt next to each other. Lines shoot across. A gangway extends from the blue yacht to the white trader. Muscular sailors carry goods across: Guns, heavy artillery. Closed boxes. White teeth flash in laughter. Lines are untied, sails unfurled, the gangway retracted. The two ships veer apart, the crew of the yacht singing loudly. A pirate flag flies from the mast of the blue ship. They disappear into the twilight in opposite directions, six hundred sea miles off Dakar... Radomir Lascek, Captain of the Solar Wind, is in trouble. What did he think he was doing, hiring those three teen Irish musicians, the Donegal Troubles
Readers' reviews:
"Truly Excellent!"
This book is a definite must-have for your library. A gripping tale from beginning to end, with characters so vividly described and with such varied and interesting personalities (one can't help thinking of them as friends), you feel as though you know each of them personally. After reading this book all I can say is: Ahoy! (anna bottle!) Off to the next adventure!!!
(Ruthven Frylinck - Reader)
"Like gypsy music"
The fast-moving and often surprising action leaves one quite breathless, rather like gypsy music played at a rousing pace. Yet one has time to get to know the characters, so that one can't help but be drawn into their differing mind sets. Interesting how these diverse characters are tied into an intrinsically functioning unit, without the reader even noticing the natural ease with which the author does this. - The book raises some thought-provoking questions and leaves one looking forward to more from the pen of this intriguing author.
