'Retribution' begins in 1620. A grieving Isaac Stanfield heads out across the Atlantic Ocean. After the Mayflower sails for the new world, Isaac has been sent to explore the potential for trade and further settlements in New England. His efforts are frustrated by the incompetence and duplicity of the people with whom he has to deal. This second book in the Stanfield Chronicles series continues with Isaac's love of adventure, his courage, and ingenuity being fully tested, his fascination with and respect for the native peoples he meets. Isaac's life consists of blue water sailing adventures, kidnapping, smuggling, pirates, torture and romance, on two continents, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. A life lived on the edge while he attempts to protect those he loves. David Tory has sailed the coast of Massachusetts and Maine for 30 years. He brings other settings alive through his familiarity with Dorset, England, and his intimate knowledge of Bermuda and its waters. Years of research give his books a firm grounding in historic facts and figures while allowing his imagination to use his fictional characters to tell a compelling story of the turbulent early history of New England.
