LISTEN to the free audio format of my award-winning novel here:

DURING THE VOYAGE from Venice back to Neptune’s Revenge, Umiko filled Quill in on the rest of her research, theories, and ongoing pursuit of Necro over the years.

Quill, mindful of his last unexpected encounter with Nautila, navigated towards Neptune’s Revenge in a circuitous manner, dimming the lights and reducing the ship’s speed as they drew closer to where they had last sighted Abzu’s vessel.

Thankfully, there was no sign of Nautila.

Umiko had just finished filling Quill in about Necro’s activities in New Zealand, when the Depth Charger’s radar pinged, and Quill’s eyes flicked upward through the ship’s bow window.

Still some way off, a string of lights was slowly moving towards the Depth Charger just above their location, the faint light illuminating a silver trident on the side of the vessel.
