A Cole Mercer Thriller

Cole Mercer wanted a quiet few days on the water.

Instead, someone drills a hole in the boat he rented and cuts the radio. Hours offshore in the Gulf of Aden, Mercer is left to die. He survives on a crude raft drifting across open ocean—until a passing trawler pulls him from the water.

It isn’t a rescue.

The ship belongs to pirates.

Chained below deck, Mercer studies the crew and waits for his moment. When he finally breaks free, he finds something worse than captivity—children locked in a steel compartment, terrified and silent.

Mercer stops thinking about escape.

Now the ship has to go down.

Trapped deep inside a pirate vessel with armed men hunting him, Mercer launches a brutal one-man assault through the burning hull. Engines sabotage. Fuel ignites. Pirates fall. But the clock is running out as fire spreads through the ship and innocent lives hang in the balance.

In the open waters of the Gulf of Aden, there is no law.

Only survival.

And one man who refuses to leave anyone behind.
