Slave to Fortune is the remarkable story of how a young man comes of age, grasping life from the setbacks of fortune.
Tom Cheke’s world is turned upside-down when he is kidnapped by Barbary corsairs and sold into slavery in seventeenth-century Algiers.
Tom carves out a new and promising life only to have it shattered once more when he falls into the hands of a knight of the Order of St John and into a turbulent world of ciphers, spies and assassinations.
In Slave to Fortune, DJ Munro skilfully captures a bygone era of galleons and gunpowder as the plot twists from the alleyways of Algiers, through the splendour of Malta and the canals of Venice, to maritime Portsmouth and the rustic charms of the Isle of Wight. $2.99 on Kindle.
