Beskrivelse af False Cargo
Insurance investigator Brent Calloway may be too hard-boiled to crack a smile, but heΓÇÖll go to any length to crack a case. As tough, terse and tireless as insurance man Edward G. Robinson in Double Indemnity, CallowayΓÇÖs about to go to extremes to see to it that one ship makes it safely from Hawaii to the mainland.
Going undercover and posing as ruthless killer Spike O’Brien, Calloway quickly discovers that on this ship nothing is what it seems, and no one can be trusted. With so much insurance money at stake, and the whole crew apparently in on the scam, this could end up being a voyage to the bottom of the sea.…
And when the real Spike OΓÇÖBrien shows up, itΓÇÖs Calloway whoΓÇÖll need a good insurance policy. Because life is cheap when the stakes are so highΓÇöon a ship of lies bearing a False Cargo.
A veteran sailor who had voyaged long and far, L. Ron Hubbard knew well the life at sea. He once wrote in his journal: “There is something magnificently terrible about a savage sea in the unwholesome green of half-dawn.… The ship is an unreal, fragile thing, full of strange groans, and engine and sails are dwarfed in their puny power when matched to all the countless horsepower in wave and wind and current. The whole world is an awesome threat. Alone, wet, hungry, hand cramped upon a tiller, a sailor knows more truth in those hours than all mankind in his millions of years.”
Also includes the sea adventure “Grounded”, in which a Royal Air Force lieutenant loses a friend and tarnishes his reputation, and sets out in search of redemption … no matter the price.
