Beware the Bright Moon

Off the coast of Africa the Evening Star sinks with eight hundred people aboard. Not long after, the USS Washington, a state of the art American military vessel collides with a freighter and sinks off the coast of Florida. Soon after, the Bright Moon, a freighter appears and begins harassing shipping on the high seas.

At first, these incidents seem unrelated. But then two reporters for the Washington Post, Leila and Timothy Brandt, begin investigating and discover that despite official reports, the so-called terrorist freighter has the speed and maneuverability of a naval frigate. In addition, the captain of the freighter has identified himself and his crew as survivors from the Evening Star trying to get home. Even more preposterous is the captain's claim that his ship is really the USS Washington.

Is he lying? Is the Bright Moon really the USS Washington? Is her crew really composed of shipwreck survivors? Whatever the truth is, Tim and Leila have to find it fast. With someone after them and the USS Sarasota out to get the Bright Moon with a sink on sight order, there isn't much time left.
