Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE • A thrilling adventure of danger and deep-sea diving, historic mystery and suspense, by the author of Shadow Divers Finding and identifying a pirate ship is the hardest thing to do under the sea. But two men—John Chatterton and John Mattera—are willing to risk everything to find the Golden Fleece, the ship of the infamous pirate Joseph Bannister. At large during the Golden Age of Piracy in the seventeenth century, Bannister should have been immortalized in the lore of the sea—his exploits more notorious than Blackbeard’s, more daring than Kidd’s. But his story, and his ship, have been lost to time. If Chatterton and Mattera succeed, they will make history—it will be just the second time ever that a pirate ship has been discovered and positively identified. Soon, however, they realize that cutting-edge technology and a willingness to lose everything aren’t enough to track down Bannister’s ship. They must travel the globe in search of historic documents and accounts of the great pirate’s exploits, face down dangerous rivals, battle the tides of nations and governments and experts. But it’s only when they learn to think and act like pirates—like Bannister—that they become able to go where no pirate hunters have gone before. Fast-paced and filled with suspense, fascinating characters, history, and adventure, Pirate Hunters is an unputdownable story that goes deep to discover truths and souls long believed lost. Praise for Pirate Hunters “You won’t want to put [it] down.”—Los Angeles Times “An exceptional adventure . . . Highly recommended to readers who delight in adventure, suspense, and the thrill of discovering history at their fingertips.”—Library Journal (starred review) “A terrific read . . . The book gallops along at a blistering pace, shifting us deftly between the seventeenth century and the present day.”—Diver “Nonfiction with the trademarks of a novel: the plots and subplots, the tension and suspense . . . [Kurson has] found gold.”—The Dallas Morning News “Rollicking . . . a fascinating [story] about the world of pirates, piracy, and priceless treasures.”—The Boston Globe “[Kurson’s] narration is just as engrossing as the subject.”—The Christian Science Monitor “A wild ride [and an] extraordinary adventure . . . Kurson’s own enthusiasm, combined with his copious research and an eye for detail, makes for one of the most mind-blowing pirate stories of recent memory, one that even the staunchest landlubber will have a hard time putting down.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “The two contemporary pirate-ship seekers of Mr. Kurson’s narrative are as daring, intrepid, tough and talented as Blood and Sparrow—and Bannister. . . . As depicted by the author, they are real-life Hemingway heroes.”—The Wall Street Journal “[Kurson] takes his knowledge of the underwater world and applies it to the ‘Golden Age of Piracy’ . . . thrillingly detailing the highs and lows of chasing not just gold and silver but also history.”—Booklist “A great thriller full of tough guys and long odds . . . and: It’s all true.”—Lee Child

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long John Silver, the villain in Robert Louis Stephenson's adventure story, Treasure Island, had a parrot. This story is another episode in the life of that parrot. She was hatched in the household of Queen Elizabeth, "Good Queen Bess," and named Gloriana by Queen Elizabeth herself. Captured by pirates, she went ashore many years later with one of the pirates who opened a pawn shop at Port Adelaide. Nine-year-old twins, Jennifer and Christopher, bought the parrot and discovered her conversational abilities. Gloriana tells the twins she knows where the pirates' treasure is buried. Accompanied by their parents, they set off to recover the treasure, traveling across inland Australia from Adelaide to Northern Queensland, pursued by three villains. Jennifer is kidnapped by the villains who want to exchange her for Gloriana; but Gloriana, aided by squadrons of parrots, rescues her. After further adventures, Jennifer, Christopher, and their parents, recover the treasure, which turns out to be ancient Chinese porcelain, not gold, silver and jewels. The villains chase Gloriana and her human companions in a speedboat, but its engine breaks down and the villains get horribly seasick. The twins' father hands the villains over to the police.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teddy's Mystery Mansion Plush Bear's Job: To Solve Ghostly Cases. Summary: In a quiet neighborhood, there is an old house that used to be full of grandeur but is now full of decay and rumors. It is surrounded by green hills and softly echoing forests. People in the town have been told not to go inside for a long time because of ghost stories and a strange history. But Teddy, a cute bear with a lot of interest and bravery, is drawn to the mystery. This is the start of "Teddy's Mystery Mansion," a story about bravery, adventure, and the search for the unknown. With his soft fur and bright button eyes, Teddy goes on an adventure that mixes fate and the supernatural. He is drawn to the house not by chance, but because he wants to solve the impossible mysteries that are hidden inside. Each chapter opens like a flower from the mansion's history, showing the world through Teddy's eyes and encouraging conversations that go beyond the spiritual realm. In his journey deeper into the house, Teddy meets people with different personalities. These are spirits trapped in limbo, each with a story to tell, unspoken grievances, and a desire for peace. At first, these ghostly beings are just scary tales, but they join Teddy in his hunt and lead him through secret gardens, whispering halls, and hallways that look like mazes. Their stories are deeply connected to the mystery of the estate. Teddy finds keys, both real and symbolic, that let him into the mansion's scariest hallways. He finally learns the truth about the haunting by facing challenges that test his bravery and resourcefulness. As he travels, his loyalty is put to the test, and he learns that bravery isn't being unafraid, but having the strength to face your fears. He also learns that friendship is eternal and doesn't care about the real or the imaginary. At the end of Teddy's trip, he has an epiphany that heals the broken souls and frees them from their earthly chains by shining light into the dark house. In a moving ending, the house goes from being a place of crying and whispers to one of peace and memories. "Teddy's Mystery Mansion" is more than just a story about scary puzzles and bravery from a stuffed animal. It's a touching story about kindness, understanding, and the strong bonds that hold our world together. When Teddy gets back home, he has learned an important lesson: going into the unknown can lead to amazing experiences, and facing the dark with a light heart is what real bravery is. Chapter 1: What You Hear in the Woods Not far away is the Whispering Woods, a beautiful spot where the trees sway softly in the wind and the sun shines brightly. This forest isn't like any other. The Whispering Woods, on the other hand, are full of stories, secrets, and magical hints. There are hidden things in the dark and old stories in the trees. This magical jungle was home to Teddy, a toy bear. Unlike other bears, Teddy had a brave heart and a never-ending desire to go on adventures. During a sunny afternoon game of hide-and-seek with his friends, Teddy went deeper into the forest than he had ever been. He didn't find the right place to hide; instead, he found something much more interesting. The trees seemed to bend toward him as he went deeper into the forest. They shook and mumbled as if they were trying to tell him a story. Teddy was drawn to him because he liked to try new things. He thought he could almost hear the trees calling him to find out what they were hiding. Then, as if by magic, he saw it: a strange house hidden among old trees. Its windows looked like eyes, and its tall towers stood watch over the sky. Teddy found it, and it looked like it had been there for hundreds of years. The house had an eerie beauty, with ivy growing up its stone walls and shadows dancing across its front. The house looked like it was part of the forest, and it was hiding secrets that only the bravest people could find. Teddy knew this wasn't a normal find because his button eyes were sparkling with excitement and the wind was teasing his soft hair. It seemed like every room in this house had a story or two to tell. They were magical and exciting stories. Teddy, who loves to try new things, couldn't say no to the offer. He was drawn to the house by the way his feet looked like bears'. He was excited to see what was inside those old walls. As Teddy got closer to the front door, he noticed that the air was getting colder and the sounds of the forest were becoming quieter. Everything in the forest seemed to be holding its breath, eager to see what Teddy would do. The house stood still in front of him, its door slightly open, as if to welcome him inside. Teddy stopped for a moment, thinking what adventures and secrets were inside. But soon, his desire to explore won out. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open. He was ready for the most exciting adventure of his life. This is where Teddy's journey through the Whispering Woods started. This is where the magical and the everyday were mixed, where stories were hidden everywhere, and where shadows told old secrets. Teddy was excited to find out what was hidden behind the walls of the house. The sounds of the trees had led him to this wonderful place. He was brave and curious about the secrets of the mansion. Chapter 2: Welcome to the Front Porch Teddy, the cute bear with a spirit for adventure, had no idea what was in store for him when he got to the strange house in the Whispering Woods. When he bravely walked up to the mansion's front door, something wonderful happened. The boards under his feet buzzed and squeaked, as if they had just woken up after a long sleep to meet him. Like the first notes of a new song, Teddy saw the sound as a call to start an experience he had always wanted, even though it might have scared other people away. It got colder around Teddy, and there was a light breeze blowing around the porch. It was like the house could feel his brave heart and curious mind. It was strange for Teddy to see a ghostly figure slowly appear in front of his eyes. It wasn't a scary ghost, though. This ghost, on the other hand, looked smart and nice, like a cat. Its eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky, and its tail was clear and waved gently. This was Sir Whiskers, the ghost cat who kept the mansion's secrets safe. Sir Whiskers bowed very low to Teddy in a way that didn't make sense. This show of respect and hospitality made Teddy feel both humbled and interested. Sir Whiskers spoke with a kind and clear voice, passing on knowledge and mysteries from the past. He talked about hidden passageways and doors that were locked all over the house, ready for someone brave enough to find them. Teddy was already very interested, but hearing what Sir Whiskers said made him even more so. It was impossible to say no to the allure of a treasure hunt inside this grand house, where each room had its own history and mystery. Teddy paid close attention as Sir Whiskers gave him hints and clues. Each one added to the bigger picture of the mystery at the house. Teddy was shocked by how comfortable the ghost cat seemed to be. Because of something about Sir Whiskers, Teddy felt like he was meant to be standing on this porch, about to start an adventure beyond his wildest dreams. It was Sir Whiskers' welcome that got people to move, to come into a world where the past and the present lived together and stories were everywhere. When Sir Whiskers left, Teddy became very determined and promised to come back when he needed help. He was no longer a toy; he was now a ghost friend, an investigator, and an explorer. He also had stories to tell. The porch creaking under Teddy's weight seemed to be the mansion's way of saying, "Go on, I have many stories to tell you." The cool air turned into a shiver of excitement. This event on the front porch was more than just a bear and a ghost meeting. It was the start of an amazing trip. With that thought, Teddy knew that his next quest would involve more than just finding secret keys and opening doors. It was about learning about the people who have lived in the house and how it works on the inside. Teddy took a deep breath, then walked forward, ready to figure out the problems that were there. The cat that had open arms for him, Sir Whiskers, led him in a soft, ethereal whisper. Chapter 3: The Grand Foyer Teddy, the brave and curious stuffed bear, walked into the mysterious mansion's beautiful hallway and was quickly surrounded by a sense of mystery and grandeur that he had never felt before. The passageway in front of him was huge and scary. The ceilings looked like they went up to the sky, and shadows moved over the walls as if they were alive. Teddy looked like he had gone to a different world where ghosts from the past were everywhere. The most interesting things about the long hallway were the pictures that were on the walls of it. These paintings were not like other art. Instead, they were like windows into the mansion's soul, each holding a piece of its past, happiness, and sadness. As soon as Teddy saw the first picture, something strange happened. The picture of a well-educated woman smiling softly started to mumble. Teddy heard a sound that was both soft and important. It sounded like leaves moving in the wind. The woman in the picture talked about the mansion's long past of both comedy and tragedy, as well as its hidden passageways and stairs. When Teddy moved from one picture to the next, each one came to life and told Teddy its own story or secret. The pictures showed an old man whispering love notes that were buried in the walls of the mansion, a little boy telling stories about secret playrooms and tunnels, and a brave knight telling stories about wars that were fought and won. Each picture not only gave Teddy clues to help him solve the estate's mysteries, but it also told him something about the past of the mansion—the loves and lives of the people who had lived there before.
