Title: The Wrecking Crew
Description: Drug warlord Janac has turned to piracy to fund his battle for control of the Australian narcotics trade. When he attacks the MV Shawould on an evil night in the South China Sea, it seems he has also found the perfect next victim for his psychotic games.  Phil Hamnet and his wife Anna are taking a last voyage on his cargo ship before the impending birth of their twins. Phil escapes the pirate attack, but Anna is taken hostage to prevent him from revealing the pirate operation to the authorities.   Janac puts Phil to the ultimate test: will he sacrifice Anna and the children to save the lives of unknown sailors? And if not, then just how many ships and deaths will it take to make him reconsider. Five men, ten, maybe twenty? Or more?  It's an awful decision for anyone to have to make, but for a man who's already had to make it once before - in a lifeboat, adrift in the vastness of the Pacific - it's a living nightmare.  The Wrecking Crew is a sequel to The Defector, in which Janac made his debut.

It’s a great escapist yarn with Janac a really nasty villain who gives Hamnet untold grief.
