Juan Cabrillo and his vagabond crew return to battle a flotilla of high-tech, high-seas pirates infesting the waters of Southeast Asia. Obviously, these ruthless bluebeards are moving up the food chain; instead of preying on small ships and luxury yachts, they are seizing gigantic commercial freighters. Nonstop action; sea adventure at its best.

Writing the best-selling books Table for One and Spaghetti and Meatball
has made Julia James famous as the Queen of Single People. With her
professional and personal identities wrapped up in being single, she's
mortified when the press links her amorously with a one-time
acquaintance, struggling actor Lance Collins. When Lance accompanies
Julia (with the encouragement of his unscrupulous agent) home to
Oklahoma, it not only fans the flames but also brings the pair closer
together. Although Julia eventually falls in love with Lance, she finds
it hard to leave the security of singledom.

Scott Brick narrates this sixth episode in the Covert One series, involving pirates, immigrants turned into slaves, and a bizarre gold bullion scheme. Brick’s depictions of Juan Cabrillo and his shipboard crew are diverse and easy to follow. His volume and pitch match the ever increasing tension as Cabrillo, hired by foreign interests to learn why top Russian specialists are dying, passes the information to the U.S. instead. Using broken accents, he skillfully portrays immigrants as they “ride the snake” to America, but meet death or slavery instead. When pirates board the OREGON, Brick dramatizes the action in a tense staccato that soon changes to resolute victory. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
