Captain Gringo— blasting off the coast of Costa Rica!
She’s six foot six and all woman: a South Seas princess with smooth brown skin and a teasing, tantalizing tongue. Gringo agrees to take her cash—and other favors—to handle a death-defying job. His mission: to free her island people now toiling as slaves on Central American shores. Armed with a few rusty machine guns, aboard an old schooner with a crew of hardened island men and half-naked women, Gringo is about to sail into the hottest battle of his life—against impossible odds!
