Hermia Contreras designed and engineered the Perra de Mar, a warship that could defend itself and defeat many larger vessels.The ship was built as a demonstrator by SeaTact, her father's company, with the hope of building more for the Navy. Unfortunately, her design did not win the competition, and the Perra de Mar was ordered to be stripped and then turned over to a shipbreaker for demolition.Hermia, a retired Navy Commander with years of experience at sea, had other plans for the vessel, so she clandestinely sails the ship out of the Navy's base with a hand-picked crew. That act was only the start of an audacious mission to rescue her brother and a news reporter from a North Korean prison. From the commandeering of the ship to their arrival in Hawai, the endeavor is punctuated by dangerous encounters with the Russians, pirates, and the Chinese Navy.When her pursuers discovered that the ship was registered under the Andorran flag, as the Buque de Investigaci n Perra de Mar (Research Vessel Sea Bitch). "Sink the Sea Bitch" became the passionate declaration of her pursuers.
