By: Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Co, LLC Marooned on Corsica after forcibly serving on a French ship's press gang, Damian finds the island infested with bandits and crime. Murders are seven times more numerous than in mainland France. The author bases much of his book on documented historical fact. Although islanders yearned to return to their Italian roots, by the end of the 1700s, Corsica had been occupied by France for over 30 years. Thinking the French Revolution would finally be the key to repatriation, Corsican rebels offered the island to England's King George III on condition that the French are driven away. Called "The Ungovernable Rock" by the British, Corsica proves a dangerous place for Damian, a man who only wants peace. About the Author: Nigel Patten was born near London in 1940 and has lived in Switzerland since 1961, writing and teaching English in an alpine lycée. He has published nine books, including historical novels, a biography, and a three-act play on the last weeks of the life of poet Percy Shelley. He has twice won a Reader's Favorite Award. The author has traveled widely on all the continents, driving from Switzerland to India and back. For many years he sailed his own boat in the Greek islands, and has twice climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, as well as hiked other famous mountain trails. He has also directed and acted in numerous stage plays. "This book shows once again why the award-winning author excels at historical fiction. We are proud to be his publisher," said Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency.
