DARK WATERS

About the Book

In this novel, many readers will encounter, perhaps for the first time, seagoing people whose predecessors carried on a long-distanced trade at a sustained and incredible magnitude long before the dawn of the Roman Empire. It is not by accident or a result of European and American innovation that the waterways in this novel have become so important to world trade in our present day. These waterways have maintained that distinction for millennia. Allow Justice Hawk to introduce you to these people and their perceptions of our world. This is a story about the most cunning and ruthless pirates the world has ever known.
