Mercenary of the Seas

In 2007, the retired French aircraft carrier "Clemenceau" was purchased by a UK company, allegedly for scrap. Yet the truth was dissimilar, as the Clemenceau was indeed bought by the Private Military Company "Sanders International" and christened "Privateer". The Privateer was to become the first private aircraft carrier in the world. It underwent a major refit and through a series of "intermediates", the ship was restored to "fighting status". In an unprecedented move that may have opened the door to the regular use of PMCs, the UN Security Council mandate Sanders International to intervene in Somalia; on the war against piracy. Yet getting there was already an adventure by itself and as the plot evolves, Mike Sanders will find himself trapped in a CIA plot to destroy the European Union.
