Other Oceans

By Guido Henkel

Other Oceans is second in the award-winning literary series, The Hook & Jill Saga. A mature re-imagining of the enduring world of Neverland, these novels deepen the characters created by J.M. Barrie, expanding Barrie's adult themes and developing Barrie's pirates, his Lost Boys, and his Indians, welcoming the adult audience back to Neverland. Other Oceans: Book Two of the Hook & Jill Saga is a pirate yarn woven for grown-ups, enriched with irony in its rendering of "polite" society. Jacket synopsis: "Identify the weapon, and use it first." Such is the code of Captain James Hook, in this lyrical sequel to Hook & Jill. And this time, the turmoil begins not with 'The Boy,' but with a girl. Ten days out of Neverbay, Hook and Jill capture a ship's surgeon, pressing him to join the Roger. But Doctor Hanover is a gentleman, with a daughter to defend. When Red-Handed Jill shows him favor, his heart is taken prisoner, too. Hanover contrives to deliver Jill from the pirate king, and redeem her to society...as his wife. But Captain Hook is impossible to escape. Other rivals contend for Jill's red hand, and Hook fights for supremacy with his skill and brilliance. When the doctor's daughter draws Hook's eye, she emulates Jill, using feminine weapons to charm him. With no word of farewell, Hook vanishes, and Jill is a queen without a king. To hold Hook's power, she must come to terms with each of the dangerous men in her domain. When a challenger seizes command of the Roger and over Jill Hook and Jill's dominion will be overthrown unless, as Hook has taught Jill to do, she can identify the weapon...and wield it wickedly. Other Oceans is an unabashed study in loyalty, vibrant with the dynamics of power. From the pen of a masterful crafter, Book Two of the Hook & Jill Saga delivers all the exhilaration that a clash of wills, hearts, and fortune can arouse.
