The Unknown Shore (Book #2 in the Golden Ocean Series) by Patrick O'Brian ~ 1995 ~ First Edition ~ This Book is listed as New. It has never been read, spine never broken and has been untouched and stored in boxes for years. ~ Book Overview Brian's first novel about the sea, The Golden Ocean, took inspiration from Commodore George Anson's fateful circumnavigation of the globe in 1740. In The Unknown Shore, O'Brian returns to this rich source and mines it brilliantly for another, quite different tale of exploration and adventure. The Wager was parted from Anson's squadron in the fierce storms off Cape Horn and struggled alone up the coast of Chile until she was driven against the rocks and sank. The survivors were soon involved in trouble of every kind. A surplus of rum, a disappearing stock of food, and a hard, detested captain soon drove them into drunkenness, mutiny, and bloodshed. After many months of privation, a handful of men made their way northward under the guidance of a band of Indians, at last finding safety in Valparaiso. ~ Bundle books for greater savings on both shipping and quantity discounts! ~ Bin •••• Fast Shipping! 5 Star Seller!
