Into the Mystic

By Garry Hicks

What if there were a story that had the magic of E.T., the action of 'Pirates of the Caribbean', the tension of 'JAWS', the humor of 'The Hangover' plus romance, twists, a man coming of age and a jolting end?Do you believe in Mermaids? People may laugh if you say yes but, deep down, you either do, or want, to believe. You may have even seen one in your past. You weren't sure what it was but you know it had a tail and a woman's face. Mermaids sightings have been reported for centuries and why not? Many famous people, including Christopher Columbus and Henry Hudson, have reported mermaid sightings. Further, if you consider three quarters of the Earth is covered by water and ninety five percent of our oceans remain unexplored, it's not that difficult to believe there could be mermaids hiding in the deep.So, open your mind and let your imagination 'imagine'. People have reported seeing spaceships, aliens, Big Foot, aka 'Sasquatch', Nessie, the Loch Ness monster, ghosts, demons and ghouls. Add mermaids to that list and you're going to love this book.It's been planned for two years by four old high school buddies, now in their late thirties. A two-week trip on a forty-foot boat for relaxing, exploring, fishing and general adventure.But when they enter a fog bank and one of them is washed overboard, their journey abruptly changes. So come explore with the guys as they discover a new world of sunken pirate ships, treasure chests of pirate booty, fighting pirate spirits for their lives, underwater sea battles and an eventual trip home, for some of them.But what waits for them back home will leave them fighting for their lives against an ancient person so powerful it seems they cannot win. But when this person takes the baby of a mermaid, they join forces to fight this deadly foe. Their battle sends them back to the island where they must either rescue their child, or. kill him.
