E-Books →Unintended Consequences (Tales of the Sea Book 5)

'Richard Woodman knows how to tell a story, but has a healthy respect for history.' Saul David
Captain John Sanford, the sturdy and determined former master of a British cargo-ship, has spent the last decade imprisoned in Communist China, undergoing a horrific 're-education' after being captured for harbouring an 'Enemy of the People' onboard.
When he is finally released and arrives back in Hong Kong, the world is a very different place. The cargo-ship he commanded, the Da Feng, no longer exists, and his place in the company is gone.
When the opportunity to take charge of a small steamship arises, he jumps at the chance to begin a new chapter in his life. The Merdeka quickly becomes a successful inter-island trader, and for Sanford, the ship provides a refuge for his troubled mind.
That is, until a sudden and appalling event shatters the new life he has built when an unexpected enemy causes an accident that puts both ship and crew in peril.
Captain Richard Martin Woodman LVO is an English novelist and naval historian. He is the author of the series 'A History of the British Merchant Navy' and the Sword of State trilogy, which recreates the true story of George Monck.
