Pirates and Treasure!
Okay, this story stands up on its own, within its own story arc, but you are REALLY doing yourself a disservice if you haven't read a few of the ones leading up to it (and I need to go back and start from the beginning as I can see from references that I've missed some meaty history!). This is, as you would expect, another swashbuckling historical from the talented pen of author Steven Becker, bringing to life the seas of the Florida Straits, Caribbean, and points south. Touching on the early days of U.S. Naval sea power and the varying empires building and collapsing territories in the New World, he share knowledge of the square rigged ships whose design was being eclipsed by faster shapes and sails allowing tracks closer to the wind. Rudimentary diving skills are also explored. And then, of course, there is an ongoing love story entwined in the plot. All this, of course, is just background to action-filled adventure as Nick and his crew are blown about by the winds of chance. Another solid yarn!

Tides of Fortune
This was a very good series of history, adventure, and mayhem. Captain Nick and his crew can’t seem to escape trouble. Then he finds a familiar thread to his past and fortune.

The ride is changing.
Again being chased by Spanish and imprisoned. Working a deal and chasing down a rogue Englishman. Life is normal. A good story on it's own. But, true to the series.

I've read the whole series, they are great! I prefer the first five because they all pertain to events involving water, the sailing, and the crew. The last book is more about the gold rush that they become involved in. Its still a great series!

If you are a diving fan, this series will provide a great and accurate look into the very beginnings
Their are characters to love and hate, action galore and some real page turning adventure. I'm off to sail around the horn. A big thanks to Steven Becker and his team.
