Pirates of the Caribbean meets Tenet

Tasked with mapping the coastlines centuries after the Great Cataclysm, cartographer Jonathan Greenleaf is thrown into a series of strange encounters that leave him marooned with the greatest treasure left in the sea.

Meanwhile, the ruthless pirate Javier Ortega will stop at nothing to claim the prize, battling rival crews, ancient technology, and the mysteries of time itself.

When both men stumble upon a force older and more dangerous than either could imagine, they must decide whether to fight each other or join forces against the common enemy.

Author

Vincent Baverso holds a degree from the University of Pittsburgh in English writing. By day, he drafts architectural plans, by night he immerses himself in mead making, philosophy, art, fashion, cobbling, horology, and many other forms of tinkering. His creative versatility spans from carpentry to canvas, but his true love lies in the written word, with works published in several anthologies and journals for both poetry and fiction, including two poetry collections: The 49 Stalks and High-tech Lowlife, as well as his debut novel Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest.
