Opis

Last Voyage First Inspired by the mysterious disappearance of racing yacht Renovac along with her entire crew, Last Voyage First tells the tale of a well found yacht totally vanishing in the Bermuda Triangle. The last yacht Anne Marie, a modern ketch outfitted for undersea archaeology, became overtaken by a hurricane somewhere west of Bermuda. The owner, his twenty-two year old daughter and her fiance were all presumed lost at sea. Totally lost they were not. Connie Shaw was washed overboard in the storm; rescued not by the US Navy, but by a British Navy Frigate in the year 1777. This first voyage of the last Anne Marie commenced with a frantic search of empty ocean for lost Connie, followed by the yacht's return to her home port, not today but in 1777, the pivotal year of the American Revolutionary War. While Connie Shaw barely managed a harrowing escape from captivity, becoming chased by an implacable enemy through the pages of this action-filled novel, her father and fiance were drafted by Washington's Secret Service and effected three significant changes in the course of the history of that War, to now read as we know it; not as it should logically have been. Had it not been for this gallant and secretive crew it's likely that the United States of America would have become the United Colonies of Brittan, and would have been singing "Hail to the Queen' since."
