Sea Sick
Sea Sick is the first book in the Ravaged World Trilogy. The book introduces Jack Wardsley, a Police Officer whose life takes a nosedive when his partner dies after being stabbed by a druggie. Years later, Jack has not yet recovered, and the thoughts in his head are almost driving him insane. Jack has also been breaking the rules and disobeying his superiors, so he is given an ultimatum, either take some time off work and try to heal or find another job. This explains why Jack is going to board the cruise liner Spirit of Kirkpatrick. However, he will soon realize that relaxation and recovery are the last things he will get on board this ship.
There is a virus in the cruise liner that is making people insane. The virus is also making those affected bleed from the eyes, which explains why the ship is overrun with death and blood. To make things worse, there is no escape. Jack has to wait for his fate, knowing that his life is going to end as tragically as that of the people around him.

He realizes that he is aging, which is odd since he is stuck in a loop. Before his life ends, Jack is determined to find out why the time is not moving.

There will be action on every page, and the unexpected twists will keep you turning the pages.
