Summary: Start with documentary filmmaker Dara Barr and her right-hand man, Xavier, as they embark on her latest project, a "doc" on modern-day pirates operating out of Somalia. Add to this, each with his or her own agenda, a billionaire yachtsman, the French model he's considering making his wife, a stylish pirate, a British/Saudi fixer, and two al Qaeda members, one of whom also happens to be a convicted American felon, and stir in liberal amounts of champagne, martinis, and khat. Serve the whole thing up with humor, action, and a tanker of liquefied natural gas and what began as a documentary becomes a treatment for an action blockbuster in the novel-and most likely in real life.
