Transcendence Island

                  "Dead men tell no tales." But someone has to tell the story

 Walter Bowen III, a young man of privilege with aspirations of the highest office, finds his life turned upside down during Spring Break of his sophomore year at Yale. A tragic accident aboard the family yacht leaves his best friend missing and Walter fighting for survival in the vast Atlantic Ocean.

Alone, with only a deck chair to keep him afloat, Walter fights for his life against the prevailing current that threatens to sweep him further away from land. Half-drowned, suffering from dehydration with blistered skin due to the exposure, he is discovered and brought aboard a modern ship. 

But the crew's codes of conduct are centuries old, and they are uninterested in his family's wealth or influence. Accustomed to taking what they want, the sailors force Walter to fend for his life as a modern-day pirate. Will he survive the tasks he is forced to perform while trying to save his life? College student Walter -- don't call me "Wally" -- tries to buy his way home, then fights back, but must then become resolved to his new fate. 

His private tutors and expensive education could never prepare him for this.   

Transcendence Island is a high-octane, plot-driven novel that will take you on a thrilling high-seas adventure.
