The Loss of the Lady Jane

A tired and ill old man tries to escape the last agonies of his life by putting out to sea, carried to his end by the whims of waves and weather. He is unaware that the little boat he hastily purchased carries the secret of a laser weapon that could destroy the balance of world power. Joe Martin's more immediate problem is a daughter-in-law who wants to save him from himself and a Coast Guard captain who considers it his duty to keep him alive. Martin only wants to sail the Lady Jane into oblivion. There are those who would stop him and those who would help him as soon as they learned the Lady's secrets. But in her bilges, the Lady Jane holds a frightening secret of her own.
