In this action-packed expose of the seedy underworld of international shipping, Max Hardberger recounts his adventures repossessing ships and sneaking them out of lawless, third-world countries. His journeys take him from the Caribbean to Vladivostok, pitting him against a rogue's gallery of antagonists. It's a compelling exploration of a world that few of us know about.
Captain Max Hardberger uses every trick, tool and tactic at his disposal to right wrongs and out-pirate the pirates. As a professional ship extractor, he risks death and imprisonment, retrieving ships from modern buccaneers and corrupt governments and returning them to their rightful owners. He's had to outwit resourceful crime families, subdue armed soldiers, and turn the tables on clever con artists. He has escaped imprisonment in Venezuela and avoided death at the hands of the Russian mafia.
Because Max shuns the use of force, the ingenious methods he devises to accomplish his missions are the stuff of legend: he has employed a witch doctor in Haiti, tricked armed guards off a ship in Honduras, and rented a brothel in Mexico. Seized is an intense, fast-paced tour through the underbelly of ocean shipping, where 'all power comes from the barrel of a gun', and the only law is the law of survival.
