Just finished reading Castigo Cay. Whew! What a story! ... Also lost several nights sleep reading into wee hours of the morning.
Looking forward to your next book.
It’s not as popular as my Trilogy novels, which is kind of disappointing. But I really wanted to go in a different direction. After almost a million words in three connected novels, I was feeling very constrained.
My next novel is another Dan Kilmer story, a decade later and darker, set between Ireland and Morocco with a sea jihad theme. Wiki “the sack of Baltimore Ireland” and update it 400 years to a girls boarding school in SW Ireland being raided, and a hundred young girls being carried away to Morocco for ransom or auction as harem slaves.
The backdrop is Europe in a depression and civil war against the Islamist invaders, and totally unable to afford air or sea patrols over the Atlantic. The modern Barbary corsairs fill the vacuum, once again pirating ships and conducting land raids for slaves.
