Privateer, LLC. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781969709388)

Congress just legalized piracy.

The Lee Bill authorizes civilian crews to intercept cartel vessels, seize drugs, and keep half the profits. On paper, it's a bold solution to the War on Drugs. In practice, it's Uber Eats for crime.

Within months, the seas are crawling with licensed pirates-influencer crews livestreaming seizures, corporate operations running quarterly earnings calls on cocaine margins, and psychopaths who finally found a legal outlet for violence.

Then there's Marcus Hale.

A former Coast Guard commander with a failed marriage and a bleeding conscience, Marcus assembles a crew of misfits: a Florida redneck with a death wish, a paranoid tech genius, a cartel accountant seeking redemption, a revenge-driven former prosecutor, and a drunk ex-cop who's one bad day from the grave.

Their mission: run the only honest privateer operation in America.

Their problem: the system isn't designed for honesty.
