5 Stars (Goodreads)
Pamela Gargett: Boomerang Gold transports the reader on a voyage across the treacherous oceans of the sixteenth century. It is fast-paced and full of incidents that feel stunningly different to modern day society and its expectations. The writers capture the true characters of the captains and crew of these incredibly adventurous ships and the lure of gold. Greed overcomes any of the loyalty that may have been expected of these men. However, there are characters such as Dr Willis, the caring and respectful, ship's doctor, Tilley, the mistreated prostitute and various islanders who act as the calmer areas in this vast, surging, heaving ocean of a tale. Worth a read for the action, the history and the utterly believable characters.

Description:
Captain Calder Velden, a ruthless seafaring servant of the Secret Dutch Allegiance, had been summoned to serve his state in territories unknown.
1586AD his beloved homelands were under Spanish Rule, there seemed to be no answers on how the resistance could end the tyranny. Backed by incredible wealth, King Phillip II of Spain had established a World Power hell bent on conquering all known territories.
The Dutch Allegiance knew the Spanish had discovered an untapped source of wealth in the territories of Nueva Guinea. It was time to send their cut-snake captain to disrupt and cripple the southern supply of gold to the Spanish Treasury.
Calder was in command of the new stealth ship, ‘The Kharon’, specifically made for the mission. Christened after the mythical ferry boat of the underworld, she was to pursue, raid and pillage enemy merchant ships along the trade route south of Bantam and leave no survivors!
However the unpredictable cloak and dagger mission itself could not have foreseen the Captain and Crew being entangled in mass murder, hoards of treasure, discovery of new lands and revenge that would span the best part of twenty years.
Everyone knows you must be responsible for your actions; but when you mix gold fever, pride, revenge and the open seas then perhaps you may be forgiven for forgetting your responsibilities.
In the case of The Kharon and her crew’s greed, wealth may just play second fiddle to survival.
A tale entwined around historical events!
