Imagine Master and Commander meets Shackleton meets Moby Dick….These are the tones of adventure, history, and drama of The Journey.It is 1577. Richard Hartwell, a young English scholar, is persuaded to join Francis Drake’s expedition to the yet-unexplored South Seas. In making this fateful decision, he embarks upon an adventure that not only takes him to the ends of the earth, but to the depths of his being. Leaving the comforts of English gentility, he encounters hostile shipmates, strange new lands, blistering sun, and freezing rain. To stay alive, he must survive fearful seas, angry natives, and fearsome Spanish conquistadors. To return home, he must choose what to follow: His sense of duty, his desire for revenge – or the wisdom of his own conscience.Author’s Notes: Francis Drake rose from the lowest ranks of Elizabethan society to become the 16th century equivalent of an international rock star. Based not on rank but on his abilities, he became an expert mariner, a successful entrepreneur, and a trusted advisor to Queen Elizabeth I. Throughout Western Europe and the Americas he was a household name — known as either a great seafarer or a loathed pirate, depending on one’s political and religious views. While the great Magellan is famous for circumnavigating the world, he did not in fact survive the attempt; he died in the Philippines. Fifty years later, Francis Drake was the first captain in history to complete a circumnavigation of the world. Even today, with modern ship designs and global positioning technology, circumnavigating the globe under sail — especially through the Straits of Magellan — is still a harrowing undertaking. The great Catholic sea powers of Spain and Portugal were deeply offended that this “insignificant” Protestant Kingdom of England could accomplish what they could not. It was 16th century England’s greatest accomplishment to date. To celebrate this momentous event, Queen Elizabeth knighted Drake and Shakespeare named his theatre The Globe. It is on this historical adventure that The Journey takes you — as seen through the eyes of the only fictional character aboard, Richard Hartwell. True, this is a fictional telling, and I have my own interpretation of certain events. But throughout its construction, I was committed to telling this tale based on historical facts. I consider myself fortunate that I was able to uncover a wealth of information: original sources from surviving journals and letters related to this voyage — and a rich assortment of books and insights from well-respected historians and mariners.
