Domácí vyučování může být skvělou školou, zejména s rodiči jako učiteli. Místo gramatiky se děti učí meteorologii, navigaci a potápění. Sourozenci Kiddovi, hádavá dvojčata Bick a Back, svalovec Tommy a chytrá Střela, žijí na plachetnici, která je jejich domovem. Po dobrodružstvích s otcem, který je oceánograf a námořník, se jejich život obrátí vzhůru nohama, když matku unesou piráti na Kypru a po bouři ztratí i otce. Děti zůstávají na plachetnici samy a musí se postarat o její opravu, zatímco neustále pátrají po otci. Společně dokážou hodně – vyloví zlaté dublony z vraku, najdou otcovy zápisky a rozluští šifry, přičemž je pronásledují piráti. Příběh je plný pirátů, podmořských pokladů, detektivního pátrání a tajných agentů, doplněný komiksovými ilustracemi a ironickými poznámkami. Tento první díl dobrodružné série je výsledkem spolupráce Jamese Pattersona a Chrise Grabensteina, kteří napsali i další úspěšné knihy. James Patterson se stal nejoblíbenějším autorem americké mládeže a prodal více než 300 milionů výtisků svých knih.

In this monograph, Dr. Mark R. Shulman offers a novel thesis to explain the value of an important new security initiative with considerable implications for the future use of force in operations other than war. While this initiative is still in its formative stages, it may eventually change the use of force paradigm in which military leaders and political decisionmakers operate. And despite its promise, no one has yet attempted a comprehensive analysis of it. Dr. Shulman's monograph draws on publicly available sources from governmental publications and press releases, the international news media, and think tank strategic analyses, as well the relevant historical materials. Based on this wide review of the literature, Dr. Shulman argues that the Proliferation Security Initiative is changing long-held international norms about the conditions for the use of force to ensure strategic objectives.
