Summary
Intimate in scale, but grandly outfitted, the luxury cruise liner The Afrikaans hosts no more than 208 pampered guests, among them former FBI contract agent Thomas Prescott. When the ship is overtaken by African pirates who are demanding the US send medical relief to a small Zulu village in South Africa, it is up to Prescott to keep the 400 hostages alive. As the US tries to figure out how to combat the terrorists' plot from the outside, World Health Organization doctor, Gina Brady, undertakes the impossible task of rescuing three children from the secluded village.
As the deadline draws near, Prescott and Brady must race against the clock to discover the truth: Is it medical relief the pirates seek or a $2 billion ransom from one of the richest men in the world? Or could the implications be so profound, and the stakes so high, a war hangs in the balance?

Just too racist and ignorant
Pirog books always have a good storyline, but are always laden with misogyny. And not the kind that people excuse as ‘oh it’s just part of the character’.
This one ramped up the unpleasantness with its racism, and ignorant lack of very basic fact checking about South Africa, languages, cultures. Not artistic license, just laziness. Pirog claims to believe in God; it’s a shame he can’t bring more integrity to his writing.
