Sobre este producto
  • “Overall . . . a book in which to lose oneself, as the prose is dense in detail and steeped in atmosphere . . . a book by a writer who is clearly having fun. A worthy contribution to its genre, tailor-made for armchair Indiana Joneses.” Kirkus Reviews, December 4, 2024 “Epic-scale, action-packed, historical adventure novel with a ‘you-are-there’ feel!” D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review "RECOMMEND!" Passionately rendered. Memorable characters. Unrelenting conflict." Kate Robinson, US Review of Books "Amazing! Epic! 5 Stars out of 5 Stars!” Online Book Club “A masterful historical adventure! Thrilling entertainment with deep human insight! 5 Stars!” Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews “Recommended! A ‘Books We Love’ selection. Seatbelts on for this one! A truly swashbuckling, historical thriller filled with non-stop action from the outset. First and foremost an epic, page-turning adventure as well as an extremely moving read. I’ve read and enjoyed previous books by Curtis Stephen Burdick and he has brought the same level of historical research, attention to detail and ability to succinctly create a detailed world to this novel” Charlotte Walker, LoveReading UK The California Gold Rush of 1849 left increasing numbers of merchant sailing ships short of crew in San Francisco harbor. Desperate captains resorted to kidnapping drunken men from saloons, gambling emporiums, brothels, even opium dens and forcing them into service on their ships. Many of these ships traversed trade routes across the vast Pacific Ocean; along the western coast of North America to Russian Alaska, Hawaii, remote South Pacific archipelagos, and notorious Dutch East Indies and Southeast Asian ports, until eventually arriving in Shanghai, China, thus the kidnapped men were said to be “shanghaied.” One of them, Joshua Cabot, a young man educated in the sciences at Harvard traveled from Boston to San Francisco to open an assay office and mint for a prominent gold company. He was enticed by the promise that upon his eventual return he would have the fortune needed to establish his own scientific laboratory, his all-consuming passion. A year later he experienced a shocking, personal tragedy. He turned to alcohol to help ease the pain and one fateful night found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. He would be pushed to the limits of his endurance and experience adventures few have ever known. It would be his knowledge of science that would help him survive. This is the beginning of his epic story.
