Kelly's pursuers will test her to the limits of her endurance - and beyond. For the ship in her wake is crewed by pirates, with a young leader trained to use the most sadistic tortures in pursuit of his ultimate objective . . . a goal as shocking as it is horrific.<br><br><b>Praise for <i>Close Reach</i></b><br> <br>"This is the kind of horror that will make your heart race."<b> - <i>Examiner.com</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "Mind-blowing . . .
