The volcanic Windward and Leeward islands form the eastward fringe of the Caribbean Sea. In years gone by they were responsible for more wealth generation and human misery than anywhere else in the modern world. Nowadays they are the playground of the rich. However, there is something very unusual out to the west. The locals know but seldom talk about it. Jack Vincent and his superyacht 'Jacaranda' stumble on the secret and he and his crew learn the truth. They rescue a man from the past and attempt to take him home, over two hundred years back in time. Set in the present day and the time of Nelson, 'Jacaranda' mixes these two worlds in an adventure story that reaches its climax just as one of the Caribbean's worst natural disasters occurs. What would you say, if invited to dinner by Captain Horatio Nelson?
