Just days before the world erupts in the Russia-Ukraine war, Jasmine and Kave set out from Gloucester, Massachusetts in their thirty-foot fishing boat, chasing bluefin tuna across the remote Seamounts of the North Atlantic.

They sail straight into a nightmare.

After a violent storm disables their boat, a massive Chinese supertanker appears out of the fog, bearing down on them at full speed. The giant vessel shows no signs of slowing. Jasmine and Kave shout and wave frantically—but there is no response from the towering ship.

With only seconds to spare, they dive into the sea as the tanker crushes their boat beneath its steel hull.

The ship never stops.

As the vessel thunders past, they see a lifeboat trailing behind it on a long rope. Desperate for survival, they swim to the boat and climb aboard.

Inside they make a horrifying discovery.

A sailor lies dead, shot through the head.

Looking up toward the towering stern of the tanker, Jasmine and Kave see no one on deck.

They climb the rope to the ship.

What they find aboard is far worse than they imagined.

The wheelhouse contains eleven bodies. Six officers in white uniforms have been executed. Five others—dressed like pirates—appear to have died from a terrifying flesh-eating disease.

As Jasmine and Kave search the silent ship, they discover the rest of the crew has been murdered. More pirates lie dead throughout the vessel. In the ship’s infirmary they find a nurse who has also been executed.

Then they hear a faint sound.

A whimper.

In an adjoining room they discover a young woman who has been shot and killed. But beside her lies a newborn baby girl—apparently born moments before her mother died.

Now Jasmine and Kave must care for the child while trying to understand what happened aboard the drifting supertanker.

The vessel—the Tian Ying Zuo—is loaded with 320,000 barrels of crude oil worth millions of dollars and is still sailing west across the Atlantic on autopilot.

Jasmine knows the Law of the Sea: An abandoned vessel may be claimed by whoever boards and takes possession.

If the ship truly has no living crew, the tanker—and its valuable cargo—could legally belong to them.

They shut down the engines, move the bodies to the ship’s freezer, and decide to attempt the impossible: Sail the giant tanker to Ireland themselves.

But fate has another surprise waiting.

In thick fog the drifting supertanker glides into the middle of a massive offshore wind farm. The near disaster sparks an extraordinary idea—one that could change the future of energy.

What if the tanker could become a floating power plant?

By mounting wind turbines on deck and filling the cargo hold with hundreds of Tesla battery packs, the ship could generate electricity at sea and deliver clean energy anywhere in the world.

It’s a revolutionary concept.

And a fortune waiting to be claimed.

But the Chinese owners of the ship are not about to surrender a 320,000-barrel supertanker without a fight.

Soon a ship full of soldiers is sent to reclaim the vessel.

Then the Chinese navy arrives.

Outnumbered and alone in the North Atlantic, Jasmine and Kave must defend their ship, protect the newborn child they rescued, and prove that the Tian Ying Zuo is no longer a ghost ship—but destined to be the world’s first mobile windship energy platform.

Windship Farm is a gripping high-seas thriller of mystery, survival, and innovation—where a chance encounter in the fog may change the future of global energy.
