Red At Dawn quickly captures its readers, wrapping them in the age-old dramas of intense greed, cruelty, rape, murder, and bitter-sweet romance. David K. Evans crafts a tight plot with vivid glimpses of the turbulent 1700s. Seen through the eyes of Peter Halsey, a young New England skipper of a fishing schooner captured by maniacal pirate Captain Ned Lukas, the tale swiftly unfolds onboard the aging brigantine Rebeckah, with ports-of-call and vivid drama that include the Slave Coast of West Africa; mid-ocean capture of a venerable Spanish Galleon; a slave market on the Spanish coast of Central America, and onward to the beautiful �deserted� shores of Roat�n. Drawing upon his knowledge from over four decades of research on the island, the author paints a vivid and exciting portrait of life among elusive maroons and castaways of the 1700s, largely gone unrecorded by History; describing their desperate attempt to survive and protect their women and freedom from vicious attacks by pirates who periodically invade the small island. It is here story soars. |

Read about "modern day" pirates on Roatan in "The Judas Bird" by D.K. Evans. Until recently Roat�n was a little-known Caribbean island, but in 1995 an evil has descended. A small gang of murderous, modern day land-pirates abruptly become the law, terrorizing the island�s once peaceful population. Francisco Downer, an old man with a mysterious ability to see into the past is about to lose his family�s land to these pirates. To thwart this frightening evil, the old man turns to a young, prior Peace Corps volunteer who once lived in Francisco�s home. After an absence of five years, Todd returns to find the delicate fabric of the island�s peaceful culture under immediate threat, devastated by a cascade of rapid changes that leave terror and murder in their wake. | ||
