Dallas Russ

Oria's Bay Dallas Russ

In August of 1857, Lieutenant Daniel Tucker's life couldn't get any better, a beautiful wife of three years and a newborn baby boy. This would be his final assignment with the U. S. Navy after honorably serving for thirteen years. He and his family would settle down in New York City in a civilian job at a local bank. Daniel's charge was to see that two million in gold made it safely to New York. An assignment Lieutenant Tucker has done on nine previous trips. A twenty four day voyage and he would then retire from military service. Only two things stood in his way, the greed of men and a major hurricane. After this voyage, his life would change forever. 150 years later, Daniel's Great-Grandson, Dylan Taggard would come across a similar fate. Orphaned at the age of thirteen Dylan was a builder of canoes and other small boats. His life would change again when he meets Michael and Jeanie Barrett, a wealthy couple from Savannah, Ga. Dylan's linage would soon be revealed, tying him to a hurricane and a ship full of gold. There was nothing Dylan could say to convince a ruthless man like Michael Barrett that it was all coincidental. Soon all hell would break loose. Will Dylan's ancestors come back from the grave to haunt him or to save him from a terrible end?
