The Man Who Rode the Tiger
THE MAN WHO RODE THE TIGER is planned as a series of David Kettering novels written by the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE SECOND SON, Charles Sailor. This taut suspense thriller tells the story of a fathers unwavering determination to save his daughter from execution in China. David Kettering finds himself pitted against the government of China as well as the world's most powerful communist party. Expelled from China on the day of her sentencing, and with only seven days to save her life Kettering takes matters into his own hands. As the clock runs down, and with only hours to spare, Kettering finally possesses something viable to trade. When he notifies the Chinese authorities he becomes a marked and relentlessly hunted man. It seems David Kettering holds the one thing that China cannot allow to exist. THE MAN WHO RODE THE TIGER validates the belief that a single individual has the power to alter the world in a positive way, no matter the odds.
The Pen and Ink Sailor
Examiner of the Navy and the First Lord of the Admiralty during the Trafalgar Campaign, Sir Charles Middleton was responsible for creating vital links between the naval shore establishment, policy makers in Whitehall and commanders at sea.
George Charles Smith of Penzance
In the two previous books of his trilogy, Seamen’s Missions (1986) and The Way of the Sea (2008), the author researched how the seafarers’ mission movement began and expanded. This third volume traces the captivating human drama surrounding the origins. In fifteen fascinating chapters the book presents, for the first time ever, the embattled life of George Charles Smith—today recognized worldwide as the founder of the Maritime Mission Movement. Here, the reader can follow the turbulent career of this man of extremes: his humble origins; his harrowing years in a “floating hell” in Nelson’s navy; his relentless war with the “Sodom and Gomorrah” of London’s Sailortown; his dogged pursuit of a “Marine Jerusalem”; his survival of heartless debtors’ prisons; his feting throughout America; and his “last watch” in his home port, Penzance, in southwest England. Perhaps the most powerful affirmation of the lasting legacy of George Charles Smith is how also non-Western participants in today’s maritime mission readily discern in him the profile of a prophet.
Sailor-painter
Charles Robert Patterson (1878-1958) reinvigorated nautical painting by combining nearly a decade of seafaring experience with academic art training. His vision of the ship under sail has influenced every generation of nautical artists following in his wake.
The Second Son
The Second Son is a powerful drama, taut with international intrigue that reaches from the Vatican to the White House. But The Second Son also tells a story of passionate love between both a man and a woman, and between man and God. It offers entertainment as unforgettable as it is provocative.
