Book Cover & Preview Text
Their thoughts were frozen and beyond fear as panic only occurs with the anticipation of impending doom. This was real; happening now; this moment could not be altered. A morbid fascination quickly overcame them - unaware that they were not breathing, that their lungs were unconsciously on hold protecting their oxygen for remaining life support systems. Vanessa was caught up in the feeling of water pressing against her body as if she had returned to the womb. Jake focused on the roll of the boat that was taking place; how his changing world had no shape or form, no up or down, no resemblance to facts; only an amorphous truth. Illusions were paramount; their only reality at the moment.

About the Book
When Jake Winship, a burned-out Wall Street executive attempts to escape his unsettled past, he becomes trapped in a nightmarish future. Seeking his naïve version of paradise sailing through the Caribbean, unleashed terror stalks him and his reluctant wife Vanessa at every port of call. Unaware of their hidden cargo, they become unwitting victims of a narco-terrorist network that tightens its noose on them – until it is too late to hide or run. The suspenseful chase that unfolds becomes a plethora of perils and predicaments – forcing them to unravel the hidden agendas of their marriage while overcoming the sadistic schemes of their ruthless pursuers. After their illusory bliss of the tropics is shattered by a ‘perfect storm’ on the high seas, they must turn to innocent islanders who are soon entangled in the same web of terror. Now in a desperate race against time, the hunted are forced to become the hunters - with Jake and Vanessa discovering that only love, courage and cunning can prevail over the twisted evils of their lost paradise.
About the Author
STEPHEN WARREN resides in Tampa, Florida and Murphy, North Carolina, where the strong contrasts between beaches and mountains influence his diverse writing style. Stephen also publishes fine art photography, believing that the process for capturing creative photos is the same for envisioning the scenes of a novel. His motivation for VOYAGE OVER THE EDGE emerged while living aboard charter yachts in the Caribbean, the lifestyle inspiring the novel’s dramatic action, enchanting locales and colorful characters – each of which are blended into a thrilling tour of the stranger side of paradise that few even knew existed. Currently, Stephen is shifting to a new genre of intrigue, where his Wall Street experience is being woven into GREED WITHOUT REMORSE, a fictional account of the housing meltdown that triggered America’s national economic crisis.
