Pirates are still out there, flintlock pistols and schooners traded for assault rifles and black-painted Zodiacs. PARAISO, Book One of Pirates, Scoundrels, and Saints tells the riveting tale of modern-day pirates in the unpredictable waters of the Caribbean—not Jack Sparrow caricatures, but real men and women driven by their pasts. Juan is fiercely loyal to his crew and loves adventure. His son Ivan longs for a respectable life and to win the beautiful daughter of a prominent Dominican Republic family. Maria’s life fell apart when her father died at sea, but she now climbs the ranks in Juan’s crew. Peter, an American missionary, lost everything to alcohol and wanders the hills of Haiti in search of redemption. Based on his experience as an international lawyer and pilot, T. Grant Acker creates an unforgettable cast that brings us into a world filled with danger and corruption, love and redemption.
