Lost Cargo

Lost Cargo A Rhys Taylor Story When two massive container ships disappear on the same route to South Africa, the shipping world is left with nothing but questions—no distress calls, no wreckage, no survivors. World Trade Logistics turns to former merchant mariner Rhys Taylor, asking him to take command of a third vessel and deliver a replacement cargo while secretly investigating what happened to the missing ships. Reluctantly leaving his quiet life in Lake Tahoe behind, Taylor reunites with his old shipmates Harold "Digger" Graves and Angus MacIntosh aboard the massive container ship Sir Edmund. With Royal Marine commandos riding shotgun and tensions rising among the crew, they set sail into waters where two ships—and their crews—simply vanished. But when mechanical trouble forces the Sir Edmund into a remote West African harbor, Taylor discovers the truth: the missing ships have been hijacked, their crews held hostage by a ruthless warlord funding his rise to power through piracy and extortion. Outnumbered and deep inside enemy territory, Taylor and his crew must launch a daring rescue and fight their way back to open sea before the Sir Edmund becomes the next ship to disappear. Lost Cargo is a gripping maritime thriller packed with high-seas danger, modern piracy, and explosive action from the Atlantic trade routes to the harbors of West Africa.
