Mike Hawthorne to Release THE HUNGRY HORIZON PIRATES OF THE PACIFIC

The Hungry Horizon Pirates of the Pacific-Book I

Debut novel by Mike Hawthorne follows the true exploits of the infamous pirate, Bartholomew Sharp and his band of Buccaneers

Jamaica, Christmas 1679. In Morant Bay, a fleet of buccaneers secretly prepares to attack the Spanish Main, in defiance of the peace treaty between England and Spain. A veteran of the Dutch Wars and Henry Morgan's sack of Panama, Tom Sheppard flees from a brawl in Port Royal with his two young turtle-fishing mates to join the expedition and escape the threat of the gallows.

Reluctantly, he is dragged deep into the criminal world of squabbling pirate captains on the edge of the known world. His dreams of escape are frustrated at every turn. He must keep his friends safe and come to terms with what he has become or go mad.

"The Hungry Horizon is a very well written novel, and I could not put the book down for a moment, as it is a thrilling tale from beginning to end." -Bernard Keiser, Treasure Hunter and Millionaire Businessman
