SYNOPSES OF THE 4-BOOK SERIES
BOOK I: THE RESCUE Remi, a dolphin disappears. His friends fear pirates kidnapped him, and they seek the help of Wizard Rubidjad. On his advice, the sea creatures gather information about the strengths and weaknesses of their enemy. Together they devise an ingenious plan to free Remi. Fate intervenes when Captain Malo finds himself owing his life to sea creatures and he makes a pact with them. The sea creatures carry out their pledge and Captain Malo learns much from their wisdom. Rubidjad discovers the Captain has a secret past and a time warp could explain many things.
BOOK II: THE TREASURE The talk on the island is about a treasure, which may be buried nearby. While living among sea creatures, Captain Malo undergoes a life changing experience and changes his name to Captain Benelo. He realizes that life is precious and humans and animals have the same basic needs - living free and in peace. Wizard Rubidjad s research confirms that a treasure is buried on the island. He and the sea creatures seek the help of the Captain and his crew. After hope of finding the treasure fades, Providence lends a hand. The riches they seek do not seem as important as the friendship that grows between them.
BOOK III: THE PROMISE Captain Benelo sails to the land of humans to carry out the most important mission of his life to defend and protect sea creatures. Meanwhile, his friends on the island decide to go back in time to the sinking of the Titanic to help rescue passengers. Thanks to Wizard Rubidjad who teleports them, the heroes save many people. Once onboard the Carpathia, the survivors make a promise to the sea creatures. In the land of humans, Captain Benelo meets a young lady, and discovers they share a secret. With the help of Richard O Barry, a conservationist, the Sea Samurai trio educates the public about the importance of protecting dolphins and whales and ensuring their freedom.
BOOK IV: THE LESSON The Sea Samurai and crew arrive on Rubidjad Island and learn that baby whale Tolu has disappeared. With the help of a large pod of whales, a search team scours the seas hoping to find her. The wrath of the whales is spurred by the death of Toothless Bob, and the whales declare war on whaling ships. While heading to Newfoundland, the Benelo miraculously finds a plane floating at sea with two conservationists onboard - Jacques Castel, the Sea Explorer, and Steve Dearwin, a crocodile expert. They both join the Sea Samurai in an attempt to stop sealers from taking baby seals from their mothers. At the height of Operation Brigitte, all heads turn to a ship arriving at full speed carrying special passengers.
