Thanks, but I have no plans to extend the story. I’ll admit it’s a great setup for a novel or TV series, but it will never happen. Not unless I turn it around so the villains are white Christian redneck bigot Islamophobes.
Then, I’d have lots of offers....sad but true.
Piss Koran was only a sidebar from the novel I’m working on.
I’m 80% finished writing the follow on to Castigo Cay. It’s set between Ireland and Morocco with a sea-jihad and kidnapping theme. Look up “the sack of Baltimore, Ireland, 1631,” and slide the time bar forward four centuries. When the West is weak, Islam moves into the vacuum.
In my new “future dystopian” novel, 80 Irish and English schoolgirls are kidnapped from an elite (“safe”) boarding academy in SW Ireland. They are taken in a long-range fishing vessel to Morocco, for ransom or sale as sex-slaves. One of the wealthy grandparents finances a rescue operation for all of them, instead of only paying to ransom his own granddaughter. A mixed English/Irish team is put together, ex-SAS and ex-IRA, under the leadership of a famous ex-SAS colonel.
The SAS have the know-how and skills, but can’t obtain the required guns. They are operating far outside the official lines, and the UK government would stop their rogue mission if they could. So they must turn to the IRA to get access to the required weaponry. Weapons the IRA never turned in or accounted for after the peace agreements in the 1990s. (This is all true, about the IRA guns.)
The vessel that was going to carry the team to Morocco was seized by HM govt in Wales just days before their launch, as the UK govt is getting wind of the outlaw operation. So the rescue team must come up with a replacement vessel right away, and get going. The slave auction will take place in only two weeks, after the Sharia-compliant three-month waiting period is over. (This is to ensure that none of the girls are pregnant. I’m not making this up.)
Dan Kilmer and his old schooner are in SW Ireland, selling off a cargo of drums of diesel fuel that they “recovered” from an abandoned USAF air base in the Arctic. The SAS/IRA team make him an offer he can’t refuse to carry the team to the Canaries. That’s the setup. I’m smoothing out the second half, (actions in Morocco), the first half is finished. Not sure of the ETA for completion.
Can’t wait for the new novel - your writing style is something that I both enjoy and admire. You also put the lie to just about everything the liberals/Leftists have been spouting on a wide variety of issues for several decades.
Thanks for everything that you do.
