Regina Maris

In the Pacific Ocean, the RMS Regina Maris has been hijacked with more than 1,300 passengers and crew aboard. An ultimatum has been delivered to the United States government to release the imprisoned leader of the Resistance and Liberation Front, or there will be blood spilt. But Uncle Sam doesn't negotiate with terrorists, and things look bad for the innocent on board the cruise ship. Among the passengers are Sian Racher and Echo Papadakis, on board for a much deserved vacation after their last exploit. Also on board is a vicious traitor among the crew, and a mysterious woman who was plucked from the ocean. Erik Racher and his InterOps team are asked to intervene, with the help from a Navy SEAL team. They have twenty-four hours to get from their base in the Indian Ocean to the cruise ship in the Pacific Ocean. To complicate things, they first have to land their large twin-engine gunship on the deck of a supercarrier, and then get to cruise ship ahead of a potent storm. Can they do it? And once aboard the RMS Regina Maris, what will they find? The big question going through the minds of the InterOps team members is simple: How involved is Alexander Shaitan?
