So far, no one has been able to stop the pirates in the Gulf of Aden. No matter how large the freighter, tanker, or cruise ship, none were safe from them. Sheer fear spread among the sailors. When Tom received the call and shortly after learned whom and what he was supposed to protect, he couldn't believe his ears. A multimillionaire wanted to spend his vacation with his family on his own yacht in an island group. The luxury yacht was to be transported from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, right through the most dangerous pirate area in the world. The owner wanted armed escort protection for this. With the tactic he devised, deemed impossible by others, Tom was able to protect the luxury yacht from hijacking twice, and thus also safeguard the crew from kidnapping. This is how the path of the Uncanny began.
