The
Praying Nun
Slave
Shipwreck Saga Book 1
by
Michael Smorenburg


Genre:
Historical Thriller

An
uncharted shipwreck, the mysteries she hides, and the brutalized
souls who suffered her holds.


In
1985 two divers discovered an ancient uncharted shipwreck off South
Africa's Cape of Storms. Salvaging the wreck only inflames the enigma
with the trail of secrets compounding and the wreck refusing to yield
her identity. Countless vessels, some crammed with bullion, have
joined this ship graveyard over the centuries, but what sort of
galleon was this, leaving only cannon, cannon balls and scant few
clues behind? Three decades pass before the Smithsonian of Washington
solves the riddle.

It's
1794 on the fevered coast of Mozambique. Chikunda and his wife Mkiwa,
stripped naked and shackled, are heaved aboard the São José de
Africa. Only a miracle may save them from the horrors below deck
where more than 400 fellow slaves are crammed. But nobody can guess
what fate has in store.

If
you're a Wilbur Smith or Clive Cussler fan, you will be riveted by
this fact-inspired fictionalized tale by Michael Smorenburg, based as
it is by personal experience, extensive research and the legacy of
artifacts salvaged from the São José de Africa. Pick it up now to
go on the adventure of a lifetime.










The
Reckoning
Slave
Shipwreck Saga Book 2

A
slave evades re-capture after his slave ship is wrecked at the
treacherous Cape of Good Hope, only to face handing himself over when
his wife goes missing with the man who rescued them. A tale of hope,
fear and most of all, the yearning for freedom.


It's
1794 and the slave trade is at its ugly peak. When the Portuguese
slave ship 
Sao
Jose Paquete de Africa
 shipwrecks
at the Cape of Good Hope, only two hundred of the four hundred slaves
aboard survive.

Chikunda
and his pregnant wife evade re-capture only to face the impassable
cliffs of Table Mountain. With the wild South Atlantic at their
backs, Cape Town's gallows and whipping post to the north, the
British garrison blocking escape to the south, and dangers of an
untamed African coast to the east of a vast mountain range, escape
seems impossible.

When
Chikunda's wife goes missing, he has a monumental choice to make.
Pick up The Reckoning now and lose yourself in a world you never
could have imagined, a world where freedom slips ever more out of a
man's grasp.
