Synopsis

“A spellbinding nautical tale that captures the reader’s attention and never releases it until the final page is turned. FLOATING GOLD whisks readers back to the heyday of the British navy and readers find themselves living the life of a sailor and witnessing the awesome beauty and dangers of sailing the seas on a wooden ship in days of yore.” Cindy Vallar 1802 - The Treaty of Amiens heralds a fragile peace in the war with France. Britain's fighting ships languish in ordinary and sailors litter the alehouses of Portsmouth. From a beach, Captain Quintrell observes a fleet preparing to sail little knowing he will soon have command of the frigate "Elusive". Entrusted with secret orders, he heads south, unaware of the horrors which lie ahead. But when he enters the freezing Southern Ocean, a mutinous crew, murder most foul and the dangers held within a simmering volcanic island pose more of a threat than a broadside from a man-of-war.

Biographie de l'auteur

Born in England, Margaret Muir now lives in Tasmania where she is a member of the Tasmanian Sail Training Association. During her travels, she has cruised round the coast of South America, crossed Drake Passage and visited the frozen islands off the Antarctic Peninsula. It is these experiences which inspired her to write Floating Gold. Floating Gold is Muir's fifth novel for Hale Books, but her first nautical fiction adventure.
