A Max Sterling Adventure – Book Three
History’s deadliest pirates. A stolen invention. And a future hanging by a thread.
Max never meant to strand them in the past. But when a timefold malfunction throws Max, Nick, and Chloe into 1693, they find themselves trapped on Cutthroat Island—a place as ruthless as legend warned.
And they’re not alone.
Eli Whitbridge, a rogue time traveler with a grudge, has summoned a pirate armada from across history—Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Rachel Wall, Henry Morgan—each torn from their century and bent to his will. With help from billionaire Fenton Whitbridge, Eli is hunting a vault buried deep beneath the island. Inside lies a forbidden prototype of Max’s own design: a stabilized timefold core capable of reshaping the laws of time itself.
What Eli seeks isn’t treasure. It’s dominion over history.
As cannon fire shatters the jungle and allegiances shift like sand, Max must outwit the most feared pirates who ever lived, solve a vault no one was meant to open, and face a future where he may be the very thing that breaks time apart.
Because the true curse of Cutthroat Island… is what happens if its secret is unlocked.
