Book Description
Voyage in a Savage Sea is a brawny, salty, high seas adventure full of suspense, that reads like a thriller. When sea-hardened Nate Duggan is forced to escape the London authorities, he signs on as mate of the Brigantine Houndstooth, where he drives the ship and crew across three oceans to Australia's fledging penal colony at Sydney Cove. There 15 year old Jeremy comes aboard as a green, new hand. While trading in the Koro Sea, a violent storm and shipwreck throw Nate and the terrified young man together on a remote island in the Fijian chain. Hunted by cannibals who are led by a fierce, cunning savage-their gutsy struggle to survive is full of twists, turns and surprises. Feel the roll of the deck, the sting of the lash, and the cold fear of hunted prey as the story spreads like canvas in a gale; moving from the slums of 1806 London to England's harsh new penal colony in Australia, and on to the newly discovered, savage islands of the South Pacific. A fast paced page turner that you'll hate having to end.p>
