Pirate Hunter by Tom Morrisey

This is a parallel story of a young 18th century pirate and a modern day treasure hunter.  Morrisey takes you through the story of a young boy, Ted Bascombe, who lives a pirate’s life and struggles to practice the words of the Bible rather than just read them.

Greg Rhode, a treasure hunter, searches through ship wrecks for a living.  When they find the ship of the young Ted Bascombe, many treasures are to be uncovered. Will Greg uncover a treasure on land that he wasn’t even looking for?  Will he let down the walls around his heart to let this treasure in?

While both characters crave adventure for a living, neither one cares to uncover the wrecks of their past.  Morrisey takes you through these two stories without being “preachy”.  He demonstrates a moral compass in each character and lets them find the spiritual aspect that is missing from their lives.  Morrisey creates romance and adventure in the lives of two unlikely parallel characters.
