'Before boarding the Sea Breeze for a leisurely cruise of the Tahitian Islands Hawkins is suddenly and strangely transported into another era - the days when pirates plundered the Spanish towns on the South American west coast and took refuge in Tahiti. How did he enter this world? Will he escape with his life? This is an exciting, surreal pirate story set in the South Pacific, with all its dangers, treason and dastardly deeds. And its colourful, if somewhat double-dealing characters.' (Publication summary)
