Book description
An enticing new world awaits--but getting there's half the battle.
Destroying a ruthless dictator, it turns out, was easy by comparison.
Merqua's Revolutionaries find themselves landlocked, and the only hope
for civilization lies beyond a wild and perilous ocean. Only one
shipyard can produce a vessel that's up to the crossing. But how do you
negotiate with--or trust--slavers, powder-snorting pirates and
cannibals? To complicate matters, the Rasta mystic Pec-Pec lurks in the
background. The power of a world-changing mission has captured his
attention. How will this inscrutable magic man, with allegiance to no
one, twist the mission to serve his own dark plans? Jeff Bredenberg
