Summary

Harold Pederson's discovery ships are in trouble. Specializing in exploring remote estuaries and photographing endangered wildlife in South East Asia and the western Pacific, his fleet ventures into waters that are rife with pirates. When Jerry Giacomo is hired by Pederson to make his ships more bullet-proof, he finds that the situation is even more precarious than envisaged. The Jihadist breakaway group Abu Sayyaf is carrying out the murders and abductions. Then Storm Swept, with all the Bacchantes on board, is requisitioned by the British navy to take part in an exercise up a remote river in Borneo, where the terrorists have their lair. At the same time that Jerry is battling the pirates, Helen Pederson is trapped in a remote village in Mexico, blackmailed by her first husband. When she confides her dilemma to Jerry and Skye, the Bacchantes are forced to face yet another great challenge. The paternity of the girls has been brought into question yet again. And the answer could be fatal
