Description du livre
Ever read a book you couldn't put down? That you wish hadn't ended? This is such a book. I've already read it twice, and about to begin again. The adventure begins as we see a boy standing on the coast, watching his family die in a severe storm off the New England coast. He ships out to sea, and begins the most incredible life you could imagine.
From the rear jacket: "Maine, Malta, Tripoli, the slave pen called the Sepulcher of Wet Bones, the tents of the Bedouin, an tomb of dry bones in the Sudan, Capetown, the palaces and gaming rooms of London-and home! None of Edison Marshall's previous books... has such panoramic sweep or tells such a dynamic moving tale."
