Captain Mutiny and his mate Redbeard arrive at the Oriental port of Minoa to refuel, and after a generous act of kindness to the local fishermen, they find themselves drawn into a dangerous game involving a mysterious pendant, a beautiful woman named Felice, and the ruthless crime lord Le Clerke. As Captain Mutiny unravels the pendant's true purpose, he must outmaneuver a criminal empire that will stop at nothing to reclaim it—with the help of some unexpected allies.

Jason Cross has spent years hunting a magnificent black killer whale through the world's oceans, a battle of wits and will that the cunning creature has won time and again—but now, in the modernized whaling industry of 1954, an older and grizzled Cross tracks his nemesis to the icy Antarctic waters for what may be their final encounter. With harpoon gun in hand and decades of rivalry burning in his chest, Cross closes in on the whale that once saved his life from a tiger shark, forcing him to reckon with what victory really means.

When Captain Mutiny and her crew return to the island of Rago for supplies, they discover the peaceful village they'd befriended has been raided—the natives rounded up and enslaved by a ruthless slave ship bound for Hong Kong. With Redbeard at her side, Captain Mutiny pursues the slaver across the Pacific, determined to free the captured people and stop the trade in human suffering before it's too late.
