Book Description
Simon Verbeeck, the great sailor with his long black hair and elegant black beard, declared war against all pirates. Pirates had not only robbed him of the Company ship of which he was the captain, but they had also taken away his beautiful young wife. Simon couldn't find a ship with which to bring his revenge to the pirates' doorstep. He and seven of his crew members ended up one day in a boat in the Cape of Storms, along the southwest coast of South Africa. In the fierce storm, their boat capsized, leaving them at the mercy of the turbulent sea. But then they saw a ghost ship sailing past them, with no crew on board. Simon and three of his men miraculously managed to board the strange ship. They found no living soul on board, and everything seemed to be in perfect condition, except for the sails and ropes that had been badly damaged by the wind. Then they heard an unearthly scream coming from somewhere in the ship, which sounded as if it came from the dead, giving them the fright of their lives. They then made a shocking discovery that placed wonderful treasures in their hands, but to obtain them, they first had to solve certain secrets. And then Simon and his faithful follower Wilhelm Rieckert set off on the long, long journey they had dreamed of for so long in searching for Simon's wife.
