High Seas Adventure Meets a High-Tech Quest for Pirate Gold  
  
West Indies, 18th century  
Young Ted Bascombe is rescued by notorious pirate Captain Henry Thatch, finding himself caught up in a world of crime, adventure, and a daily fight for freedom....  
  
Key West, 21st century  
Marine archaeologist Greg Rhode embarks on a treasure-hunting expedition in the turquoise waters of the Florida Keys, but he's as beguiled by a beautiful diver with different-colored eyes as by the lure of pirate gold....  
   
The Hunt Is On!  
Interweaving these two stories, pro deep-sea diver Tom Morrisey spins a multilayered tale of two young men's quests to escape their past by losing themselves to adventure on the high seas. Romantic and thrilling, this unique novel explores the timeless truth that "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Tom Morrisey is the author of five novels and a world-renowned adventure-travel writer whose work has appeared in Outside, Sport Diver, and other leading magazines. A two-time Christy Award finalist, he holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Bowling Green State University and lives with his family in Orlando, Florida.

From the blue waters of the Caribbean and the Florida Keys to the wind-swept wilds of the Outer Banks, Pirate Hunter combines the romantic popularity of a pirate tale with an inspirational story of modern-day treasure hunters.  
  
Following a captured slave who's been freed by the sixteenth-century pirate who takes his ship, the novel weaves a rollicking tale of adventure. Paralleling this story in the present are the treasure hunters seeking the gold--and stories--of the past. Greg Rhode--a preacher's kid who has become a marine archaeologist--hires on to participate in Phil Rackham's salvage operation in the Florida Keys. He is hoping that Rackham will make him rich, not suspecting the true riches he'll eventually confront.

A rollicking adventure set both aboard a pirate ship and centuries later with modern-day treasure hunters--will each discover true riches?

From the blue waters of the Caribbean and the Florida Keys to the wind-swept wilds of the Outer Banks, "Pirate Hunter" combines the romantic popularity of a pirate tale with an inspirational story of modern-day treasure hunters. Following a captured slave who's been freed by the sixteenth-century pirate who takes his ship, the novel weaves a rollicking tale of adventure. Paralleling this story in the present are the treasure hunters seeking the gold - and stories - of the past. Greg Rhode - a preacher's kid who has become a marine archaeologist - hires on to participate in Phil Rackham's salvage operation in the Florida Keys. He is hoping that Rackham will make him rich, not suspecting the true riches he'll eventually confront.

The Good Book Stall

Tom Morrisey at his best in a double story of seventeenth century pirates interwoven with twenty-first century underwater treasure seekers. Three and a half centuries ago, escaped slave-turned privateer, Ted, follows a similar path of betrayal and anger to that of marine-archaeologist Greg in the present day, and both face the same dilemma when love and faith prove incompatible with clinging to thoughts of revenge. Parallel themes of slavery, estrangement, and the difficulty versus the need for forgiveness, come together at the end in a satisfyingly harmonious climax, and the journey there is packed with incident and action both at sea and ashore. The modern heroine’s dead sister does turn into a brother later in the book – a rare mistake from a master storyteller – but, aside from that minor quibble, Pirate Hunter kept me turning the pages until I’d finished.
