The Modern Pirate Series
Prowling Tiger
Prowling Tiger
A Long Short Story
Alex the Pirate and his business partner, Diego, set about pirating ships at sea using their new fast gunboat, the Tiger. Stopping a ship at sea and stealing its cargo are not as easy as it sounds. There is a steep learning curve, especially if you try not to kill anyone on board.
Mr. Luong says they should stick to what they do best—smuggling contraband across the Gulf of Thailand and into Vietnam where they can make a profit on the black market. There are anxious refugees they must rescue and transport to safety in Malaysia. All in a day’s work.
But there is a new threat in their smuggling world. The notorious pirate and rouge called the Frenchman is sinking boats and stealing cargoes. He attacks them on the water and they must fight for their lives in a desperate sea battle.
The second of a collection of stories about Alex the Pirate and his savvy crew of rogues and thieves. They are modern pirates who love fast boats and expensive yachts, and also share a passion for treasure hunting. Alex and Diego, his second in command, scout the South China Sea and Caribbean for worthy ships to liberate from their owners. Each story reveals more about the pirate, his crew, their adventures, and secret missions.
