Swashbuckling Adventure Introduces Pirates & Ghosts & Spies

Something spooky is happening in a derelict cottage on the edge of Dartmoor.

Malcolm Westcott is a British merchant seaman who is now back on shore. He takes on the job of renovating the backwoods cottage, but is in for a big surprise when he makes an unexpected discovery in the property’s musty attic. Where will his find take him?

Westcott meets a stranger named Stamford as well as a beautiful Russian spy. He then undergoes a series of strange events that could be a warning. But he fails to take heed, and by the time he does, everything comes to a frightening conclusion. Is it too late for him to escape?

Anton’s Falcon is an intriguing yarn, filled with pirates, ghosts, and spies. It’s also liberally sprinkled with a mysterious mixture of truth and lies.

Novel Shows Life on the Seas
During the Turbulent 1960s
The protracted Cold War between the Soviet Union and the West was reaching its height in the late 1960s. Confrontation between the Arab states and Israel had forced the closure of the Suez Canal to shipping. In the Far East, a violent political war was raging in Vietnam, and across Northern Africa, a deadly famine was beginning to take its grip on the population.
In these serious times of worldwide turmoil, the gripping novel Seaweed takes place. It tells of a fictional sea voyage by the British merchant vessel M.V. Auroras. This compelling tale of sea-faring life and the events that occurred on the ship is told from the perspective of Alex Bevan, the ship’s young radio officer.
After three years of college, Alex has just completed his first voyage as a qualified ships radio officer. He returns home on leave but soon gets called to join his next ship, the M.V. Auroras. Meet the rest of the crew including the captain, a Welshman in his sixties, who likes his beer and dominates the ship with his loud penetrating voice.
