Their efforts are not in vain, as they have successfully disrupted numerous criminal networks, dismantling their intricate operations and ensuring the welfare of marine life. Through their tireless efforts, they have significantly decreased the incidences of illegal activities in vast stretches of our oceans.

Protecting the Giants

One of the primary focuses of The Killing Seas International Marine Police is the protection of endangered marine species, particularly the giants of the ocean - whales and sea turtles. These majestic creatures are relentlessly hunted by poachers for their valuable parts, pushing them towards the brink of extinction.

The marine police, in collaboration with marine biologists and conservation organizations, work to disrupt and dismantle the illegal trade networks that exploit these innocent creatures. Through targeted investigations, they have successfully apprehended poachers and confiscated illegal products, safeguarding the lives of these gentle giants.

Fighting the Silent Enemy: Pollution

In addition to combating illegal activities, The Killing Seas International Marine Police devote significant resources to combatting an invisible and equally deadly enemy – pollution. They work tirelessly to locate and shut down illegal dumping sites, preventing toxic substances from contaminating the ocean and threatening marine life.

Additionally, they raise awareness about the devastating impact of pollution on our oceans, organizing clean-up campaigns and educational programs to inspire communities to actively participate in preserving the ecosystem.

Breaking the Chains of Exploitation

Drug and human trafficking are rampant in the waters, hidden beneath the waves that crash on our shores. The Killing Seas International Marine Police have made it their mission to dismantle these networks, rescuing victims from a life of misery and bringing the culprits to justice.

These heroes risk their lives, infiltrating criminal organizations, gathering intelligence, and executing precise operations to disrupt these illegal activities. Through their unwavering dedication and bravery, they are breaking the chains of exploitation that shackle innocent lives.

Join the Force

The need for The Killing Seas International Marine Police has never been greater as our oceans face unprecedented threats. However, they cannot do it alone. They rely on the support of governments, international organizations, and individuals who share their vision of a world where marine life can thrive.

There are various ways individuals can contribute, from volunteering in conservation efforts to donating to organizations dedicated to protecting marine life. By taking action, we can ensure that The Killing Seas International Marine Police have the resources they need to continue their vital work.

Together, we can turn the tide and restore the seas to their rightful glory.

This thriller, set in 2013, introduces the International Marine Police, an agency of the United Nations set up to fight 21st Century piracy, an annual $18 Billion crime wave which has cost hundreds of sailors their lives. Leading the fight is the IMP, established six years ago. The agency is the brainchild of former Merchant Navy Commodore William Smart, whose last ship was attacked by a vicious and sadistic pirate chief, Carlo Pietri. In the attempted hijack, Pietri and his murderous crew butchered the Commodore’s parents.
In recent times, though, Smart’s IMP units have fought back and inflicted much damage on pirate chiefs around the African coastline, attacking their gangs and rescuing hijacked ships and crews. Whilst Smart’s back room teams plan the missions, his senior field commanders lead their units from the front.
Most IMP commanders are from the Merchant Navy or Special Forces and two of them feature highly in this opening account of the battle against maritime crime. One, Ellie Bannerman, is an ex-senior Marine Engineer who was attacked in an attempted rape at sea. She was supported through her ordeal by the Commodore and left active service to join his IMP. Here, Ellie returns to sea as Chief Engineer.
The other is Ben Petersen, an ex-Chief Officer whose wife was murdered during an unsuccessful hijack attempt off the Somalian coast. Like Ellie, Ben has been unable to build a new personal life but is dedicated to the IMP and its fight against piracy.
These two commanders lead their force of IMPs and special service personnel against Pietri to try to bring him to justice.
The story starts with Pietri slaughtering an IMP unit in a botched hijack off the east Coast of Africa. The murder of his people is the final straw for Smart who plots the pirate chief’s downfall, using Jasmina Omondi, the UN Secretary General as bait in a trap to tempt Pietri out of hiding.
Omondi, who helped Smart set up the IMP, has forced Governments who gave safe havens to pirates to give those same murderous criminals up. Through her efforts Carlo Pietri himself has been driven from his sphere of operations, losing millions of dollars in ransom money. He wants revenge.
When Smart asks Omondi to travel as a passenger on the MV Orcoma to tempt Pietri out of hiding she knows that her very life will be in danger. But accepts the challenge, trusting that only the very best of the IMPs will be chosen to protect her.
So, Ellie joins the ship on her outward voyage and Ben and his fighting force are secreted aboard before the trap is sprung. It will be Ellie’s responsibility to keep the world’s leading diplomat safe and Ben’s to help her close the trap on Pietri with his support unit of IMP personnel and US Navy SEALs.
This thriller tracks the struggle to bring Pietri to account. As the Orcoma speeds from England, through the Caribbean and on to the South American coastline, the tension heightens. Worsening weather conditions and an increasingly brutal Pietri lead to the climax as the Orcoma is hijacked off the coast of Peru.
The leading characters are ably supported by Jake Stanley, a highly experienced US Navy SEAL; Pete Davey, an International Marine Police officer; Captain Geli, a South American tugboat captain and IMP undercover agent; and the Commodore’s own back room staff.
But, with the UN Secretary General’s survival at stake, it falls to Ellie and Ben to use all their expertise, skill and wits to prevent Pietri from wreaking a horrible revenge on the United Nations and all those who fight piracy and hijacks.
