The Tuna Hunter

Bob McCann, a soft spoken, wandering sky nomad, unexpectedly faces the ultimate challenges. Piloting a Hughes 500 across the Pacific, he must meet head-on with Dark Forces, fly like a madman, and coldly hunt like a falcon. The helicopter industry has always counted amongst its ranks this type of restless nomad. Not for him the large, lumbering, twin-engine, two crew helicopter 'school bus runs', mindlessly monitoring a fully coupled autopilot. Instead, in nippy, joyously single-engined craft and invariably single pilot, he delights in untamed frontier flying, often doors off. He tries to live in harmony with Mother Nature, his fellow Man, and, hardest of all, with himself. For Bob McCann hides, behind the bonhomie and the soft spoken exterior, a turbulent past. When Fate comes knocking and he meets the gentle woman of his silent dreams, their whirlwind romance is brutally cut short by dark storm clouds. Faced with the unthinkable, he is forced to call on a clinical coldness that hides deep inside him and enter a former homicidal mindset he hoped to never embrace again. Part auto-biographical and part fiction, this story weaves a web of intrigue and deadly danger.
