When a distress signal reaches the GalaxSea, Hank Gunn knows

Bella is in far more danger than the fractured message reveals. She’s been abducted by her ex-boyfriend—Gregory—a powerful criminal and cold-blooded psychopath who doesn’t take no for an answer.

Now drugged, isolated, and forced into a twisted mockery of marriage, Bella is held captive under constant threat. Her father’s life hangs in the balance, and her freedom is slipping away with every passing mile.

Hank, Olin Ou, and the crew of the GalaxSea act fast. With Ava—a near-sentient AI—and the full power of Olin’s cutting-edge technology, they set out to intercept Gregory’s luxury motor yacht. It’s an unthinkable task for a sailboat, but the GalaxSea has a few tricks left—and even an old ally is on the way. Brute force won’t be enough, but strategy, timing, and relentless resolve just might be.

What begins as a chase escalates into a series of daring operations. From precision infiltrations to explosive close-quarters combat, Hank and his allies push the limits of courage and invention to bring Bella home—and take Gregory down for good.

The Managed Paranoia trilogy ends with a final test—where faith, freedom, and survival are anything but certain.

A sunken sailboat. A scattered family. A second chance with everything on the line.

A shattered dream. A rogue billionaire. A race for freedom across the Pacific.

Hank Gunn had one goal: sail around the world. But when his boat sinks and his future with it, he’s left broke, bitter, and flagged by the state. One offhand remark in a therapy session turns him into a threat. Now, he’s being watched. Tracked. Hunted.

They say he’s paranoid. He knows better.

A former Navy medic, Hank doesn’t believe in miracles—just instincts, scars, and raw survival. But when the system closes in, he’s forced to join forces with someone who does. Olin Ou is eccentric, impossibly rich, and convinced he’s part of a divine plan. With a sentient AI and a high-risk exit strategy, Olin recruits Hank into his family’s escape from the tightening grip of global surveillance.

Meanwhile, Bella’s tropical vacation ends with a chilling encounter in Singapore. Her powerful ex confronts her with a twisted proposal. When she refuses, he sends one message: You’ll regret this.
