Announcing the release of John Schettler’s latest novel,
The Devil Ship.
The Devil Ship was well named, both by its creators and by
those who would have to face it.
Yet when it sailed from Liverpool on its maiden
voyage, a false destination was given to the press to hide its real purpose and
mission. Not even its Captain and crew could know its true destination.
The ship was called the Nemesis. Yet her Captain, Master
William Hall, Royal Navy, found he would soon have the company of a most
mysterious man, a company man, who supposedly knew the answers to all of his
many questions. Along the way, the ship is being steered through the
unfathomable waters of fate as well as the wild seas of the world.
Where were they going? What was the Nemesis designed
to do? What were his orders? Soon the Devil Ship would shake all under heaven
in the clash of two of the world’s great Empires, where the fate of each would
hang in the balance.
He was bound for mystery and destiny in one throw, half way around the world, where a clash of two cultures, two great empires, would write one of the darkest chapters of modern history ever seen. Something was telling him this would be grand, daring, bold beyond his imaginings, and yet terribly wrong.
A Military Historical Fiction, this book adds a twist common
in John’s work, Time Travel, which opens the door to interventions that spin
out an Alternative History. If
you enjoyed Field of Glory or Zulu Hour, this volume is in that
same vein, and will be sure to please.
