Gerard's Trials: Sharp Tales - Book Four Paperback – December 7, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
The only thing Captain Sharp wants is sail around the world. He loves his ship, the open sea, and his loyal crew. What he doesn’t like are double-crossing owners, a false imprisonment, and people trying to kill him. It’s nice to be wanted; but hard to be a wanted man.
Trouble at sea usually gives you a warning sign, but trouble on land is harder to spot. His fiancé wants to love him, and his ex-girlfriend wants to kill him. You can avoid the angry sea, but you can’t avoid an angry woman.
Caught in a net of lies, Gerard must fight for his life. Can he defend himself? Can he stay out of prison? Does the truth even matter? From the North Sea to the South Pacific, Captain Sharp must outrun the competition, outgun the pirates, and outfox his owners.

About the author

Robert Liebertz was born in Portland Oregon; but grew up in the suburb of Gresham. He worked a number of different jobs including construction work, waiter, vacuum salesman, and building fences. He found his calling at a 911 center answering calls and dispatching police. Robert worked as a 911 Dispatcher for the City of Portland Oregon for over 30 years: retiring in March of 2021.
He has been married to his wife Margaret since 1992. They have two children, Lucas and Emma. They also have two Siberian huskies, Nova and Ella.
Robert has been attending pirate festivals for decades. At one particular event, a friend encouraged him to invent his own name, character, and backstory. Robert started writing, and that backstory became the groundwork for his first book. He started writing “Gerard’s Fortune” in October 2020, and finished in January of 2021.
He spent months looking for a publisher during the covid lockdown. Frustrated with the process, Robert decided to self-publish with Amazon. His first book, Gerard's Fortune, was published July 28th, 2021. He now has five books published in the Sharp Tales series. His website, YouTube, and Facebook pages can all be found under the tag "sevenminutesofpiracy".

- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2024I bought the first three books from Robert himself last Christmas season. I really enjoyed my conversation with him and sharing his love for sea-tails. He told me that when he started writing Sharp Tales the story kept building eventually growing into five books. I'm starting book five and I'm anxious to find out whether or not the next adventure of Captain Sharp and his crew are as successful as their previous voyages. I'll assure you it's bound to be a page turner!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023I am not a read or enjoyment person but these books have me hooked I highly recommend this series and can not wait for book 6
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2022Another rip-roaring entry into the story of Gerard the Sharp. This character gets more interesting as his story progresses, not less. And the side-characters are also given intriguing stories. I read this book all in one sitting (okay, I took a break for some tea) because I couldn’t stop once I’d started. Recommended!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2022This book builds upon the others, you learn more about the characters as they embark on new adventures
