Scarcely an hour south of Arizona's border with Old Mexico, in the pellucid waters of the Sea of Cort s, exists a dangerous, boisterous, drunken, and bawdy world of lawlessness and buccaneering unparalleled since the days of the Barbary Pirates and the Isle La Tortuga. Unsuspected by the throngs of tourists lured by the region's sun-kissed climate, luminous beaches, and sparkling ocean, there is a universe far removed from the banalities of their daily existence.But the lives of three Americans attempting to operate shrimp vessels in a region teeming with pirates are far from complacent. The adventures of these rowdy twenty-first century knights-errant ring with unrelenting action and glamour, feats hardly to be credited in today's bland landscape of coffee shops and computers. Their audacious exploits among the Pirates of the Sea of Cort s are certain to transport readers to the edge of danger.
