Humanity's WakeA disillusioned solo sailor escapes modern civilization aboard his sailboat, only to be lured back by a Royal Navy lieutenant and deceived into travelling back to 1813. There, he must enlist the aid of the Royal Navy's elite frigate, HMS Impérieuse, seize three tons of gold Napoleons, and then return to save the world he abandoned. Rich in authentic historical and nautical detail, Humanity's Wake is both a searing moral tale and a relentless adventure.
From exotic ports and wooden warships to the world's first self-sustaining, renewable-energy yacht, the story delivers sword fights, storms, sea battles, and a love story set against a stark choice: abandon humanity, or fight to clean up its wake.
