While sailing alone one night in the shipping lanes across
one of the busiest waterways in the world, John Burnett was
attacked by pirates. Through sheer ingenuity and a little
bit of luck, he survived, and his shocking firsthand
experience became the inspiration for Dangerous Waters. Today's breed of pirates are not the colorful cutthroats
painted by the history books. Unlike the romantic images
from yesteryear of Captain Hook, Long John Silver, and
Blackbeard, modern pirates can be local seamen looking for
a quick score, highly trained guerrillas, rogue military
units, or former seafarers recruited by sophisticated crime
organizations. Including new, up-to-date information for the paperback
edition, Dangerous Waters is both a dauntless investigation
and an epic, breathtaking modern tale of the sea.
