The Red Ruby

1. RED RUBY SERIES - RED RUBY

Simon Verbeek, the great seaman with his long, black hair and elegant black beard, had declared war on all pirates. For pirates had not only robbed him of the Company ship of which he was the captain, but they had also carried off his fair, young wife.

Simon could not find a ship with which he could bring his vengeance to the pirates’ doorstep. He and seven of his crew then ended up one day in a skiff in the Cape of Storms, along the southwestern coast of South Africa. In the fierce storm, their skiff was overturned, and they were then left at the mercy of the turbulent sea. But then they see a ghost ship sailing past them, with no crew on board. Simon and three of his men miraculously manage to get on board the peculiar ship. They find no living soul on board, and everything still looks in perfect condition, except for the sails and ropes that have already been severely damaged by the wind.

Then they hear an unearthly shriek from somewhere in the ship, which sounds as if it comes from the dead, giving them the fright of their lives. They then make a shocking discovery that puts wonderful treasures into their hands, but to get their hands on it, they will first have to solve certain secrets. And then Simon and his faithful follower Wilhelm Rieckert embark on the long, long journey that they have dreamed of for so long.
