The Navigator II Steve Coleman

Posing as a recreational sailor in Northern Ireland during the summer of 2015, undercover agent Joe Anderson falls for fiery young Fiona Brennan and, with the aid of her brother, infiltrates the Real Irish Republican Army. In his efforts to save her from the violence and hatred of religious and political discord, Joe is caught up in a web of deadly intrigue. Finding himself alienated from his CIA handlers, he has only his native Irish friend, Big Ryan, to count on. Joe learns much about the long, bitter history and finds that in Northern Ireland the desire for revenge for wrongs done during "The Troubles" is far from over. Among the characters he encounters are an apprentice bomb maker, a defrocked alcoholic priest, an embittered former policeman of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, a wealthy unionist couple, a ruthless drug and arms smuggler, and several terrorist thugs bent on vengeance and mayhem. His struggle to survive makes a thrilling adventure on both land and sea. Writing this sequel to "The Navigator: A Perilous Passage, Evasion at Sea," the author has employed his intimate knowledge of Northern Ireland along with his personal experiences sailing offshore along the Irish and Scottish coasts to create an historically accurate and truly exciting novel.
