Black Cargo

Lagos. The Port of Apapa. July.

A customs officer takes ten thousand dollars to look the other way. He signs the forms. He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't want to know.

Container 47C is loaded aboard the Black Pelican. Destination: Antwerp. Twenty-three days at sea.

Whatever is inside can wait. It has learned how to wait.

Midway through the English Channel, a storm breaks everything open. Within hours, all twenty-five crew members are dead. A ghost ship drifts toward the French coast. Somewhere in its holds, something that science should never have created is moving freely in the dark.

A French Navy Special Forces unit is sent aboard. Into the dark. Into the unknown. With orders to neutralize.

Some things don't go down easy.

Black Cargo is a relentless maritime thriller - surgically realistic, pulse-pounding, and driven by one devastating question: who is responsible when science creates monsters?
