About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
The award-winning author of three consecutive Denver Post bestsellers sets his sights on the seas in the pre-Civil War period and brings it to life with a cast of unforgettable characters in a rousing sea-faring tale of courage and determination, love and loss, loyalty and betrayal.
Still excited by the recent discovery of gold in California but torn by the slavery issue and fearful of an impending war, Americans in the mid-1850s watch proudly as the United States forges to the forefront in building and launching a fleet of swift and breathtakingly beautiful clipper ships, the envy of all sailing nations. Into this exclusively male domain steps 18-year-old Elizabeth Godwin, the strong-willed daughter of an affluent Boston merchant. Determined to shape her own destiny, Elizabeth makes a stunning decision that will forever alter her life.
The quest for ever-fast sailing vessels is at fever-pitch when Elizabeth meets David Chance, captain of the sleek clipper, Neptune’s Chariot. On a voyage that takes them around dangerous Cape Horn to San Francisco, China, the slave coast of Africa, London, and finally home to Boston, Elizabeth battles the crew’s traditional suspicions of a woman aboard the vessel and, in the process, discovers a world she never before experienced—and the woman she was destined to become.
In a tale inspired by a true event, Elizabeth, David and a cast of wonderfully-drawn characters recreate an almost-forgotten period in America’s glory years of tall ships.
Deftly constructed at 316 pages, Neptune's Chariot: A Novel is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Historical category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Neptune's Chariot meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $26.95.
