Echoes from the Sky

4. ECHOES OF THE SKY - THE RED RUBY SERIES

Captain Simon Verbeeck, a renowned seafarer, sails the Red Ruby through the treacherous waters of the West Indies, a region rife with pirates and hidden dangers. During a seemingly insignificant discovery, a drifting skiff containing corpses and a cryptic message, throws Simon’s well-ordered voyage into chaos. The message, carved into the wood, speaks of a missing ship, the Valencia, and a mysterious command that states. “Go to Barbuda.”

Driven by a sense of duty and a thirst for adventure, Simon deviates from his course, sailing towards the small, seemingly insignificant island. But Barbuda is not what it seems. There, he uncovers a conspiracy far grander than he could have imagined, involving pirates, rogue Spanish officials, and a shocking betrayal. He finds himself a prisoner on his own ship, forced to confront a cunning enemy who holds the key to a vast treasure and the fate of the entire region.

Simon must forge unlikely alliances, facing down betrayal and near-certain death, to expose a web of deceit and reclaim what was stolen. A daring escape and a desperate fight for survival propel him back towards Barbuda, not as a victim but as a force to be reckoned with. The fate of the islands hangs in the balance as Simon navigates treacherous waters, battling not just pirates, but a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. Will he succeed in unraveling the truth and bringing justice to the lawless seas, or will he become another echo lost to the sky?
