Sam and Vicky embark on a south Caribbean honeymoon cruise. Friends Dusty and Marilyn accompany them and the two couples look forward to a spectacular week-long journey that embarks from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The itinerary includes the U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominica, Barbados, and Aruba. Adventure and anticipation embrace the four friends as plans are made for each exciting port of call--shopping, snorkeling, and sight-seeing the various historical sites. Imagine their dilemma when they awake one morning to find that their ship, "The Whimsical Wave" has been overtaken in the night by nearly a hundred Somali pirates. What animates the lead pirate, Inferno? What is it that the pirates want? Who lives and who dies? Can Dusty and Sam, retired police detectives and former partners, figure a way to keep themselves and several thousand other innocent people alive through this ordeal? Come along for the ride of a lifetime, and enjoy a cruise like none you have ever taken.
