The Endless Waltz

Having just been promoted to Captain, Bret De La Cosa finds himself sailing back to England from the Caribbean, ready to enter into a new chapter of his life with his Fiancée Isabella. He doesn’t get far as Davey Jones sets his eyes upon Bret, destroying his ship, and casting him down into the depths of the Locker below.
After learning that he is still alive, Bret must make his way through the Dead City, fighting off Pirates and Marines alike in an attempt to find a way to escape the Locker and make his way back to the surface. Through his journey he encounters Romans, The Flying Dutchman, and the mighty Leviathan, all leading up to his final encounter with Davey Jones himself.

He watched as she danced the endless waltz he had pictured in his head so many times before. He watched and was happy.

Brett de la Cosa is on his return home to his fiancee when it happens: Davy Jones sets his Eye on him, intent to ruin the happiness Brett has. Brett is the sole survivor of the storm that sinks his ship and finds himself in Davy's Locker. With the help of some undead friends, Brett defies Davy and returns to the world of the living, never again to set foot at sea.

While the story was quite interesting, there were parts that were just so unbelievable - even within the story's own logic - that force the reader out of the story to shake their head. From having to check undead for signs of life to a leviathan that fits on a ship deck, it's the small details that detract from the incredible things Brett does to overcome Davy's obsession with keeping him from happiness.

A tale of overcoming odds and staying strong to who you are, The Endless Waltz dances its way away from Davy and back to happily ever after.

I picked up the ebook for 99cents because of the art, what can I say I'm a cheap date. Anyway, the book takes a different turn than the more recent Pirate of the Caribbean films. The main character is just a normal dude who gets thrown into the Locker. The book is good because it stays consistent throughout the entire novel and never seems to have an identity crises like so many books or movies I've seen lately, most recently the third Mass Effect game.

Its a new take on classic pirate and Sea mythology.
