Book Excerpt: 
. . .Jasper Stapleton. He had been out with his bow, and when we met him he was advancing along the path, with a young deer slung over his shoulders. At the sound of our footsteps on the crackling underwood, he stopped, looked up, and, recognizing us, turned hastily away and vanished in the thick bushes.

[Pg 48]

“Why did Jasper go away so suddenly?” asked Rose.

“Because he was not minded to meet us,” said I.

“But why? And I have not seen him these many weeks—he seems to avoid me. Did you mark his face, Humphrey,—how white it turned when he set eyes on us? And there was a look on it that frightened me—a look that seemed to promise no love for you, Humphrey,” she said.

“Have no fear, sweetheart,” I answered. “Jasper is a strange fellow, but he will do me no harm. He is only disappointed because I have won a flower that he would fain have possessed himself.”

I started it and ended it in the same night. There's nothing like going around the world when you don't want to in the 1500's and meeting Sir Francis Drake is such a bonus :)

Really enjoyed this book. Though it is an extremely small book, it condenses an adventure around the world very well. I think Wilbur Smith may have glanced over this book once or twice when writing monsoon, as Smith's book does share many of the same features in a more expanded form.
