Read Dead Men Tell No Tales Storyline:

The Caribbean Sea, 1708 AD.War between the *Northern Alliance and the League of the *Antilles is well underway.In the *New World what is left of humanity fights for dominance and a return to glory; because the *Old World died in the Great Plague of 1666. But this plague carried a curse worse than pestilence, as the dead themselves attacked the living, adding them in theirgrowing endless wave. Yet the truth behind the Risen plague and the *Old World*'s death has never been told. In *Port Royal*, an old sailor is more than willing to spin his tale.Aye me lad, have a seat next to me and listen to the true story of the Black Brig. No one is going to tell you the truth in this Brave New World.Because Dead Men tell no tales.Set in an alternate historical setting, Dead Men Tell No Tales, narrates the events that brought a great disaster to an end in 1676. Pirates, voodoo, and seagoing undead await you in this fantastic journey in a land that never was.  From the AuthorThis story was inspired by the graphic novel 'Tales of the Black Freighter' by Alan Moore. It is set in an alternate timeline in which the Great Plague of 1666 was caused by a curse, rather than a virulent phenomena. The Risen of this story act more like the Borg of Star Trek The Next Generation, or the Reavers from Firefly, than typical zombies. I'm always been in love with the legend of the Black Schooner, originating in the Caribbean Sea in from the late 17th to the early 18th century.Hope you'll have as much fun in reading it, as much I had in writing it.A final warning: this is a short story, reasonably priced at $ 0.99. It will be available at Amazon until June 2012, and will be released in a paperback anthology afterwards.About the AuthorJeffrey Kosh is the pen name of an author now living in Thailand.
