Other Oceans is second in the award-winning literary series, The Hook & Jill Saga. A mature re-imagining of the enduring world of Neverland, these novels deepen the characters created by J.M. Barrie, expanding Barrie�s adult themes and developing Barrie�s pirates, his Lost Boys, and his Indians, welcoming the adult audience back to Neverland. Other Oceans: Book Two of the Hook & Jill Saga is a pirate yarn woven for grown-ups, enriched with irony in its rendering of �polite� society. Jacket synopsis: �Identify the weapon, and use it first.� Such is the code of Captain James Hook, in this lyrical sequel to Hook & Jill. And this time, the turmoil begins not with �The Boy,� but with a girl. Ten days out of Neverbay, Hook and Jill capture a ship�s surgeon, pressing him to join the Roger. But Doctor Hanover is a gentleman, with a daughter to defend. When Red-Handed Jill shows him favor, his heart is taken prisoner, too. Hanover contrives to deliver Jill from the pirate king, and redeem her to society�as his wife. But Captain Hook is impossible to escape. Other rivals contend for Jill�s red hand, and Hook fights for supremacy with his skill and brilliance. When the doctor�s daughter draws Hook�s eye, she emulates Jill, using feminine weapons to charm him. With no word of farewell, Hook vanishes, and Jill is a queen without a king. To hold Hook�s power, she must come to terms with each of the dangerous men in her domain. When a challenger seizes command of the Roger� and over Jill� Hook and Jill�s dominion will be overthrown unless, as Hook has taught Jill to do, she can identify the weapon�and wield it wickedly. Other Oceans is an unabashed study in loyalty, vibrant with the dynamics of power. From the pen of a masterful crafter, Book Two of the Hook & Jill Saga delivers all the exhilaration that a clash of wills, hearts, and fortune can arouse.
