The Blood of an Immortal

What is the cost of one man's soul?

This is the question which burdens a French assassin and a Spanish helmsman. An explorer has offered them the gift of immortality in exchange for their aid in wresting power from the tribe of cannibals that granted him his longevity.

The souls of fifty men will be used as bait, and the reward will be an eternity navigating the seven seas.

But is the remuneration worth the risk?

"A great weird pirate story in the tradition of the classic pulps. Gardner's protagonists are as treacherous as the roughest waters. The fact that he can keep the reader invested in them through their many trials is a testament to his skill."

~Patrick Rutigliano, author of Black Corners of a Blood-Red Room
