Two years ago, Bishop Le Noire was found dead in the halls of his vessel, Titan. His second born son, Noah Le Noire, inherits the massive vessel along with a vast fortune. Unfortunately for Noah, he also unknowingly inherits his father's enemies. Noah is young and surefooted, traversing the dangerous dried-up ocean floor in the great 'dunecruiser.' Though Bishop was an adventurer of sorts, exploring unknown regions and establishing contact with distant lands, Noah has only profiteered from his late father's connections and done little to add to the legacy. He drinks and parties without thought of consequence, evading as much responsibility as possible as he spends most of his voyages in the onboard bar.
During this journey to Lima, we follow Captain Noah and some of his crew: a runaway heiress turned nurse, a chivalrous yet schizophrenic mercenary, an experienced first mate who disapproves of Noah's wild lifestyle, and a savage boy who has been taken from his tribe. Meanwhile, in Lima a revolution is brewing, led by the charismatic Brutii. Unbeknownst to Noah, Titan holds the key to the coup's victory. Brutii has waited two long years for his order to be fulfilled, and now Titan brings the final shipment of smuggled weaponry. Will Noah learn the truth behind his father's demise, or will he meet the same fate as he slips into the vortex
'Titan of the Shifting Sands' is focused on character development and engaging dialog. Infused with humor and wisdom that has been compared to Quentin Tarantino's style. The vivid action sequences are crafted to be suspenseful and unpredictable; you're often left guessing what the outcome will be until the very end. Do you enjoy good old-fashioned adventure and odyssey stories And do you crave a unique voice and fresh twist in this genre Then 'Titan' is your book!
I never expected to write a book. It just sort of happened, and I'm glad it did.
I have a lot to learn since this is my first novel, but I've fallen in love with the craft so there will definitely be more. After all, there are few places that my ADHD riddled restless perfectionism can actually shine. Apparently, writing is one of them.
