Ghost Waves: The Pirate Slayers, Book One

In the winter of 1846, the ship Brooklyn leaves New York City, carrying passengers bound for San Francisco. On a warm moonless night off the coast of Brazil, four young people fall overboard as the ship continues on unaware. Thomas, Elizabeth, Nicole and their Australian sailor friend, Matthew, manage to fight their way to a nearby island, where they realize landing ashore is just the beginning of their troubles.

The Caribbean Sea and South Pacific are the backdrops for this adventure that pits the four teens in desperate contests with pirates, profiteers and scoundrels as they swash-buckle their way to California.
