The Great Cruising Cookbook

John C. Payne

Here's a book to hurl at the culinary barbarian on your crew, though it's a lot more than a simple defense against digestion...John Payne, who writes with wit and clarity, makes the business of learning to be a good sea cook much more entertaining than it might otherwise be...All in all, this is an excellent guide to the task of providing good food afloat. Payne includes a lot of basic-but-need-to-know stuff, like: what kind of fruits and vegetables keep and how long, how to (really!) catch fish, galley equipment, safety, on board gardening (sprouting), and hundreds of really excellent recipes.

Thaddeus Ambrose Richards was a WWII intelligence officer deployed by COL William Donovan to assassinate a German female propagandist. He was killed in action. Present day ISIS has launched an aggressive recruiting campaign centered on disenfranchised young females in the US. The San Francisco operation is highlighted in this story. Jamie Richards is contracted by the CIA to perform intelligence missions centered on ISIS activities in the US. His handler is Denis Sweeny, an old Navy SEAL friend and protagonist throughout the story. Richards is thrust into action trying to prevent radical terrorists from destroying a major league ballpark and the people in attendance. Later, he and Sweeny team up to take down an ISIS safe house in San Francisco. Richards develops a sneaky love-relationship with one of the ISIS team leaders that carries him to his final mission, the site of his great-grandfather's demise in WWII.

Theft of cargo and rocketing insurance premiums means the cost of transporting goods is rising, not to mention the increased physical danger to mariners in all corners of the globe. In this eye-opening account, respected author and seaman John C. Payne lift the veil on modern piracy, detailing hundreds of very real and frightening accounts up until now. The recent hijacking of the MAERSK ALABAMA by Somali pirates merely brought worldwide attention to an issue that has been simmering for years.
