Set in the 18thC's Golden Age of Piracy,
'The Requiem Shark' is the tale of a young
recruit,William Williams,and his forced apprenticeship to Bartholomew Roberts,
slaver turned pirate captain.Enlisted first as a musician,then as the captain's biographer,William learns to negotiate the
seas of the Caribbean and West Africa,
recording conflicts with the merchantmen and whores,tribesmen and soldiers that populated the ends of the known world. Influenced by shipmates,from the learned Dr Scudamore to Innocent,ex-slave and sole
member of his own religion,Williams struggles to justify his own position with
the ROYAL FORTUNE,as the British Navy hunts them down and Captain Roberts drives the ship onwards to the ultimate prize.
Rich in historical detail and based upon the last years of the most successful pirate known to history,'The Requiem Shark' is a gripping adventure set in a brutal environment dominated by gold, disease and blood.Author's debut novel.
