Roatan Odyssey

Roatan Odyssey by Anne Jennings Brown. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780955760006.

This is a true story of love, courage, treachery and determination that reads like the finest adventure fiction.Nurtured in a select boarding school, with a degree in art and a privileged London society lifestyle, the author re- marries to a Texan adventurer. She finds herself treasure hunting in a magnificent, uninhabited harbour on Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras, whereupon she designs and helps build a home on the site of an old pirate fort, accessible only by sea.Anne believes she has at last found true happiness until her handsome new husband, Howard Jennings, unwilling to share his treasure trove, tries to kill her during their search for Inca riches in the Jungles of Ecuador.But Jennings has met his match in the upper-class girl who could swim, sail, ride, shoot and fight with the best- and the worst- of them, and then dress for dinner.When Howard is deported, Anne is left to live alone on Roatan in her now- derelict home, ravaged by a powerful hurricane, with only local wildlife and Moller, the resident ghost of a buccaneer, for company.With Mollers help, Anne survives the Caribbean elements, lost love, threats, arrest and interrogation, compounded by suicides, murder and disaster.
