Richard Mariner

The fate of Prometheus rests in the hands of Richard Mariner, the tanker’s new captain. It is his responsibility to battle human treachery and the dangers of the open sea to bring Prometheus to safe harbor. From the Persian Gulf to the storm-tossed Atlantic, Mariner and his crew will struggle against the elements while trying to uncover the elusive—and cunning—enemy in their midst.

Richard Mariner is aboard a new high-tech sailing vessel when he encounters the fire ship, never realizing it’s only the beginning of a deadly adventure. As Mariner sails through the Indian Ocean, he learns the prize tanker in his family’s fleet, Prometheus II, has been seized by terrorists in the Persian Gulf, and his father-in-law has been kidnapped in Bahrain. To wrest back what’s rightfully his he’ll have to race through treacherous waters and take on a group of terrorist pirates.
