Ships Passing in the Night Patrick Ullmer

"A Good Dream is Better than a Filthy Reality."




These words could have been spoken by a legendary heroic figure but were instead expressed by America's most notorious pirate, Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. Having recently plundered his first ship from an unwitting merchant captain, Cristian Chaucer, Blackbeard begins a reign of terror upon the seas. Having survived the attempt on his life, Cristian returns with a plan to destroy Blackbeard once and for all. However, everything takes a drastic turn when Blackbeard threatens the last remnant of Cristian's former life, his daughter Isabel.

Blackbeard's treacherous regime is about to be torn down because of a father's love, culminating in the bloodiest of sea battles and the most heartbreaking of sacrifices.
