HE WILL FOLLOW YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
Shortly after cruise ship the Maria Calypso embarks on its latest voyage, the passengers and crew notice someone in pursuit: An elegant figure wearing a white suit who somehow keeps pace in his rowboat. No matter how hard the crew pushes the engines, they can't escape The Boatman ... and it isn't long before sinister and mysterious events begin to unfold on the Maria Calypso. What will it cost to learn the true nature of the man who hunts them--and will the price to keep on living prove to be too dear?

Critical Reviews
"Somewhere between a parable and a dream, Alex Grecian's THE BOATMAN is as hypnotic as rolling ocean waves and as full of unsettling secrets." -- Nat Cassidy, USA Today bestselling author of WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME and REST STOP
"A chilling, driftwood-etched reminder of our own mortality that will cling to you like salt water, and won't be rinsed off easily." -- FanFiAddict
"Sometimes all a book needs to hook me is a single indelible image, and the latest from Alex Grecian (Red Rabbit) does exactly that. It begins with a cruise ship dubbed the Maria Calypso heading out for yet another voyage, but this time the ship has more than just vacationers to deal with. Passengers soon discover that they're being pursued by a lone man, clad in white, rowing in a small boat that's somehow keeping up with them. As they realize they can't shake this mysterious rower, the passengers also discover that very strange things are happening onboard. I cannot wait to find out where a premise like that takes me." - Bloody Disgusting
"The Boatman embarks as a macabre comedy but Grecian steers the story into unexpected waters, navigating through themes of legacy, humanity, and our destructive impact on the world--while still remaining bloody and funny of course!" - Lincoln Michel, author of Metallic Realms and The Body Scout
