About the author
Alex Paul
7 books7 followersAlex Paul lives in Portland, Oregon in the winter and on the Oregon coast in the summer with his wife, Laura Ross-Paul. Their summer home is a small log cabin with a yurt for Laura's art studio.
He began hunting when he was 20. He taught himself to hunt and has hunted for deer, elk, antelope and wild boar in Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming.
Alex began fishing when he found a fishing pole left in the garage of a home his parents moved to on the banks of the North Santiam River in Oregon.While his father was not interested in fishing, his mother faithfully accompanied him on trips to a special fishing hole on the river behind an abandoned wooden dam until she was confident he would not fall in and drown. Then he fished the river accompanied only by his two loyal dogs. That early interest in trout fishing transformed into a passion for salmon fishing and now Alex keeps a deep sea fishing boat, Ajax, in Astoria, Oregon. Friends and children join Alex in the summer crossing the Columbia River Bar to fish the Pacific Ocean.

I have loved Alex Paul's Arken Freeth books. They are refreshing and exciting. Shipwrecked which is full of adventures of Pirates giant shark, and wonderful strong young heros. I read that it was oriented toward young adults, but I believe any adult would find these Arken Freeth a fun read. The book is very well written with wonderful descriptions of the characters and of the scary beast of the sea and the jungle.Loved the book.

Very good story!
I highly recommend you read the books in order.
That being said, I am addicted to this story! It has a fast-moving plot, well-developed characters, and enough action to keep you on the edge of your seat.
