<p>Welcome to the Caribbean: Sandy beaches sunny weather... and vicious pirates </p><p>Fulfilling a promise from their last adventure together Sam Foster travels from 2006 back to nineteenth-century Oregon to visit his spunky friend Meg Clayton. This time though Meg gets to choose where they will visit next and she already has a place in mind: Kingston Jamaica in 1717. </p><p>The Clayton family farm in Oregon is in danger of being lost and Meg seeks a priceless family heirloom to save it. That means traveling back to Jamaica to retrieve the treasure before it can disappear ... even if the area in question is crawling with cutthroat pirates. </p><p>The two time travelers venture to this dangerous spot with the best laid plans ... only to find them going woefully wrong from the start. Separated almost from the first they are taken aboard different ships and faced with a litany of problems the history books never mentioned. Neither is prepared for the sunburn seasickness and squalor they experience and their goal quickly shifts from finding Meg's heirloom to staying alive reuniting-and returning home. </p><p>Will Sam and Meg's change of course help them return to the safety of their own time periods or will they be marooned in the eighteenth century left to live the rest of their lives with-or die at the hands of-a band of cold-blooded pirates? </p>
