Bight

Ben Bass, retired fighter pilot and owner of a high tech sailboat, continues to ply the Caribbean Sea as he did in the novel Abbondanza. His current assignment is to open a new boat charter location for the Windward Islands Bare Boat company. The adventures of Ben and his sailboat place him squarely in the center of a mad man's act of nuclear terrorism and are intertwined with events of the past. The 16th century discovery of Florida and subsequent attempts to subjugate the pre-historic population are examined, and actually affect the deranged industrialist's attempt at revenge. This fast-paced story includes historic events as more than just a subplot. Sailing across the Gulf of Mexico and the western Caribbean Sea takes Ben to many interesting ports -- not all by choice. While trying to avoid being blown to bits, our captain finds solace in the charms of a beautiful and intelligent woman.
