About the Author:
Woodman considered one of the strongest voices in nautical fiction today. He lives in England.
Review:
Woodman, master of both maritime nonfiction and fiction, launches a new series set in the roiling waters of the English Civil War era. In 1618, orphaned wharf-rat Kit Faulkner has an encounter with two seafaring toffs that dramatically alters the course of his life. Apprenticed to Captains Henry Mainwaring and Gideon Strange, he sets sail on one of their merchant ships to learn the business of seamanship from the bottom up. A quick study with a natural affinity for all things nautical, he rises quickly through the ranks. Later, on land, he clerks for the politically connected Mainwaring, acquiring the polish of a gentleman and catching the eye of the comely Katherine Villiers. As war looms large on the horizon, Kit must make a series of decisions that will test his loyalty and affect the futures of his family, his business interests, and his country. This salty adventure is deepened by the introduction of real-life characters and the author's considerable knowledge of British naval and mercantile shipping history. --Booklist Reviews, November 1, 2011
