Kauai and her crew find a drug-laden sailboat smashed and adrift north of the Florida Keys and end up in a race against a vicious and powerful international crime syndicate to find and recover a lost Russian nuclear warhead before its discovery can trigger a nuclear war.Book 2 - Caribbean Counterstrike: It’s the deadliest nerve gas ever made, and it has fallen into the hands of a murderous Caribbean drug cult. A game-changing battlefield nerve gas in a secret lab hidden on an oil rig servicing ship has been seized by one of the most vicious drug cartels in existence and held for ransom. The best of the bad options is a covert raid by the newly-upgraded, stealth-equipped Cutter Kauai. But the stakes could not be higher and the price of failure would be horrific for the crew.Book 3 – Bravely and Faithfully: A New Captain's First Patrol Turns into a Fight for Their Lives. Hard-charging Lieutenant Haley Reardon gets her dream job: command of a patrol boat in the red-hot operations area of South Florida and the Caribbean. But be careful what you wish for - within days of taking command Haley and her crew are shoved into a deadly mission in which any mistake can lead to disaster and war. Opening with the rescue of a young family from a stricken sailboat in the middle of a major hurricane, culminating in the covert insertion and recovery of an assault team from a Caribbean island occupied by a superior Chinese military force. The crew and their new skipper must come together for the toughest missions they have ever faced.BONUS Novelette: “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Miami”: Young Coast Guard officer Ben Wyporek is reassigned from a large cutter in Virginia to the patrol boat Kauai in Miami.
