High Seas Showdown

Captain Gringo in dangerous waters off the Mosquito Coast!Only a crazy man - or a highly paid professional fighting man - would work for Sir Basil Hakim, the corrupt British peer and international arms trader. Gringo signs on to locate a top secret Spanish shipwreck for Hakim. He stands to collect a bundle, if he lives. A stinking spongeboat with its Greek crew is supposed to get him there -with a little help from the delicious, doe-eyed cook. In between lie shark-infested seas, U.S. gunboats, German spy-schooners, and islands filled with man-eating Carib natives. If Gringo can fight his way to the sunken Spanish "gunbucket" - and keep the women aboard his own ship happy - he's got it made! Lou Cameron was an American novelist and a comic book creator.
