Whispers of the Sunken Ship - A romantic pirate adventure Book 9

Meiring Fouche

Sinopsis

A legendary sea captain.
 
A vanished ship.
 
A desperate hunt that will drive him beyond the edge of the map.
 
Cape of Good Hope (1730). Renowned Captain Simon Verbeeck is summoned for a perilous mission. Track down a vessel that vanished off the west coast of Africa. Aboard that ship were vital supplies, and Helena van Gelderen, the Governor’s beautiful niece.
 
The trail is cold, littered only with wreckage and whispers of a ruthless new pirate rising from the shadows. Failure means a young woman’s life lost and the lifeline of trade falling into the hands of cutthroats. For Simon, it is a quest that will test his courage to the very brink.
 
Then comes the only clue. A derelict longboat adrift at sea, its crew dead, its hold stuffed with strange gold bars, and a cryptic map burned into its planks. The map points not to the ocean Simon commands, but to a desolate desert feared even by pirates.
 
To save Helena, Simon must follow a ghost from the past into a land where no sailor dares tread. But can he uncover the truth before the sands swallow him whole?
 
Filled with high-stakes adventure, romance, and mystery, Whispers of the Sunken Ship is perfect for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean and Master and Commander.
 
Set sail on the ninth and final book of Meiring Fouche’s unforgettable pirate saga today.

The Top Ten - Saki - An Introduction

The name H H Munro is obscured beneath the literary mantle of his nom de plume; Saki. A writer of his times, the stories perfectly portray society’s whims and tastes in a delicate yet at times, barbed humour. A divine wit who conjured words into quite extraordinary works.

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.
