Roger Trevose, a tall dreamer, and his sturdy friend Harry Edgwyth make a compact on Plymouth Hoe and sail at dawn for the Spanish Main. Sea-fights with Spanish galleons, a storm, a puzzling cipher, careening the ships on a lonely island and an attempt to rescue a marooned man fill a long Elizabethan voyage written by a master of the nautical yarn.
Ship-handling detail and broadside action for readers who like their Elizabethan adventure salt-stained and thorough. Download the free EPUB.
