I could not wait to get my hands on this book. And it did not disappoint. There are times when our main character seems larger than life, but that is ok. This installment sees Isaac older, wiser and still chasing his destiny, in the wake of tragedy which seems to slowly be steering him and his family to the new world. I love the way Mr.Tory forms his stories. I do not hesitate to put his work right up there with the Hornblower books and leaps ahead of the Master and Commander works.

The story follows a young boy named Isaac Stanfield who takes to the sea. We see him grow up and meet the challenges of like. I liked how the story ties into history. IE with the Indians. At times it’s a little slow but overall I liked it.

I truly enjoyed the high sea adventures (and misadventures) of Issac Stanfield and all his companions throughout this well-written book. The only reason for the 4-star rating was the tragedy right at the tail end of the book seemed a bit unnecessary and didn't leave the reader in a settled place at the close of the book. Awesome story overall though, thank you so much for sharing!

I enjoyed read about Isaac Stanfield’s many adventures.

I love reading historical fiction, but the 1500s and 1600s are not a time period many stories are written about.

I liked the story being set up through journal entries Stanfield writes to remember his adventures.

The story does seems to drag on at points and probably would have better as a shorter book. However, I still enjoyed Isaac’s story and plan to read more if Tory continues the story.
