Being imprisoned by the rest of the universe after the Great Devastation, the earth was been sent back to the dark ages in many lands. From the ashes rose an evil empire that spread and quickly enslaved much of those that had survived. Some people try to resist the spread of the empire. Others have taken a different route in maintaining their freedom. One of these is Captain Ryan T. Lancaster, who commands the world’s most advanced and largest submarine. A ship that carries the skull and crossed bones upon its sail as those of the by gone eras. The captain must constantly be vigil against those that would see him and his crew brought to the throne of the emperor in chains for the great reward. Freedom and peace that he seeks, but it seems that at every turn he must face spies, saboteurs, and creatures known as Rippers.

FIVE BEACON REVIEW FOR THE SEA HUNTRESS
by Tim Quinton
In an advanced world when inhabitants of Earth are able to set colonies on other worlds, radiation, bombs, and missles bring forth strange diseases and plagues, and the world, as we know it, drastically changes. Millions perish from new diseases. Some become ill and weak. Others, somehow, are immune. But, perhaps, theworse are those who have mutated into misshapen, cannibalistic creatures known as Rippers. As if the reality of living amongst Rippers is not enough for the survivors of this new world, they also have to live in fear of Hugo Tolbrokian, an ego maniac monster who has proclaimed himself emperor of the world.
As Hugo Tolbrokian's evil empire grows, the survivors try to maintain their freedom from his empire. Out of the midst of Tolbrokian's chaos rises Captain Ryan T. Lancaster, who commands the Sea Huntress, the world's largest submarine. Captain Lancaster and his crew of rebels travel the seas in search of freedom and peace from Tolbrokian's evil deeds. Can Captain Lancaster keep his crew safe from the flesh-eating Rippers and over-throw Tolbrokian's evil empire? Or will Tolbrokian drown Lancaster in his sea of destruction?
Tim Quinton mixes well a possible future with a definite past. On the one hand, there is an enormous submarine equiped with futuristic "toys" such as those found in the best sci-fi films of today. On the other, he has piracy. The two genres may sound as though they would not mix well together, but Mr. Quinton combines both expertly. The Sea Huntress is a very interesting and entertaining story with a refreshing new concept of good versus evil.
