  • "Pirates have been around as long as people have sailed the oceans as trade routes, inspiring many a novelist. But, unlike the cutlass-wielding corsair found in TREASURE ISLAND, the pirates Ross searches for in the seas of Somalia, Indonesia and Nigeria are armed with AK-47 assault rifles and RPG-7 rocket launchers. These ruthless pirates race to their targets in speedboats, boarding and capturing vessels in a flash. The problem is worsening, as the pirates seek new hunting grounds. Kemp puts himself in harm's way to find out how much of a force they are to be reckoned with."
  • "Pirates have been around as long as people have used the oceans as trade routes, and their reign on the world's high seas has inspired many a novelist. But the type of pirate Ross Kemp is investigating now is a world away from the cutlass-and-peg-leg stereotype of Treasure Island and Pirates of the Caribbean. They are violent, dangerous and ruthless - they will stop at nothing to get the ransoms they have demanded. Piracy is becoming an increasingly serious problem that is not going away. As the pirates he meets stretch their operations ever further to new hunting grounds, Kemp finds out, often to his cost, how much of a force to be reckoned with they are."
