Hong Kong Takedown A Long Short Story Alex the Pirate and his business partner, Diego, set about establishing a legitimate business in Hong Kong to help them in their South China Sea smuggling and pirating endeavors.

Alex meets a man in a card game who may hold the key to a hard takedown of the company and its owner. But they must navigate the choppy waters of Hong Kong’s underworld in a way that will curry favor in the right places and not get them killed by the gang. At the same time they purchase and revamp a Korean coastal patrol boat for their pirating adventures. It is a fine craft they call Tiger II, a fast craft for troubled seas and dangerous missions.

Alex and Diego, his second in command, scout the South China Sea and Caribbean for worthy ships to liberate from their owners.
