Verde Ghost (the authors favorite) picks up after Black Pearls of the Crown with Nic and his friends sailing into Mexico for some RnR only to have the people chasing them push them into a strange past of the Verde Ghost and landing in a ranch in Cuyama with real Cowboys in a real Wild West. The action never stops but Nic Taylor learns some important lessons on the way that builds the man he becomes.
Readers have felt this is the best book of the series with more action packed excitement at every turn of the page.
