Tides of Fortune

It's easy to become invisible in the Florida Keys. Mac Travis was doing his best to keep a low profile: diving, fishing, and enough salvage work to pay his bills. It's a good life until he discovers something while spearfishing that could change the pristine Keys forever.

It's 1821, and pirate legend Jose' Gasparilla and his crew are about to split their treasure and retire. One more prize on the horizon lures the crew to back to action, but they fall into a trap set by the fledgling US Navy. A new leader rises from the defeat and with the few remaining men and the treasure, they make a run for it.

Blown off course by a storm, Nick and the men remaining from Gasparilla's crew find themselves and their fortune in dire straights in the Cayman Islands. Double crossed by the island's governor, Nick must find a way to keep the crew together, rescue Rory, and recover the confiscated treasure. When a local reveals a clue to a fortune hidden in one of the ships lost in The Wreck of the Ten Sails, Nick and the crew fight the dangers of primitive diving to salvage the treasure, save Rory, and cast off the pirate mantle.

A fortune in gold and the future of a nation are at stake. King Henri is dead, leaving Haiti in disorder and his treasury empty. A mysterious crewman is able to interpret a series of cryptic clues leading the crew on a chase through the mountains and fortresses of Haiti. With his own goal of taking over the nation, the political intrigue builds, but nothing is as easy as it seems.

Things are never easy when you’re labeled a pirate in the Caribbean. On the run from his past, Nick and the crew of the Panther have enough treasure aboard to live like kings, but nowhere to spend it. Not all the crew agrees on his plan, and after a near mutiny, the crew decides to try for a new start. When his heritage catches up to him, and a new treasure appears, bigger than anything they’ve tried to recover before, the crew is lured into an adventure off the coast of the Yucatan.

On the run, Nick and the gang take off for parts unknown in an attempt reach the Pacific and what he hopes to be a new life. But things are never easy and when the crew is captured, Nick is forced back to his old haunts to save them.

The Caribbean isn’t a place where Nick and the crew of the Panther can sail freely any longer, so they set off on their biggest adventure yet: around Cape Horn to join the San Francisco Gold Rush. The opportunities in the lawless gold fields are uniquely suited to the crew’s abilities — and eerily similar to their pirate past.

Boomtowns can be dangerous places especially when there is gold to be had. Nick and the crew of the Panther aren’t interested in the riches. They want to get out alive.

Join the crew of the Panther in this thrilling continuation of the Tides of Fortune series. As tensions mount in San Francisco, Nick Van Doran and his crew are thrust into a desperate race against time. Their mission: to navigate the treacherous waters and war-torn landscapes to reach New York.
