Journey to Sea's End: An epic ancient marine saga
Two young men are caught up in an enchanting saga of politics, slavery, love, and murder set against the everchanging tides of war between ancient global empires.
344 BCE. Down on their luck after they were banished from the vineyard where they worked, the lives of Dan and Jacob are about to take an unexpected turn when they get invited to join a Phoenician trade ship anchored off the coast of Jaffa.
From the Pyramids in Giza to the Oracle of Delphi, Dan and Jacob must navigate the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean. But there are dangers deadlier than the deep seas of the ancient world. Jacob must face the advancing Persian armies that occupy every piece of land in the north, enslaving and conscripting every able-bodied man into their massive armadas. Meanwhile, Dan sails up the Nile Delta, where he is entangled in a budding love affair with his captain’s daughter, who also caught the eye of none other than the mighty Pharoah of Egypt.
To survive, Dan and Jacob must learn to trust their crews and put their faith in themselves, their skills, and their destinies – if they wish to see what lies beyond the horizon, at the sea’s end…
Perfect for readers of Peter Gibbons and Colin Falconer, Journey To Sea’s End is an exhilarating read full of adventure and wisdom, wrapped in a blockbuster narrative that will keep readers hooked like no other!

A gripping historical adventure...
Shlomi Hami’s Journey to Sea’s End immerses readers in the tumultuous waters of 344 BCE, when Dan and Jacob—exiled and desperate—encounter a Phoenician ship fraught with peril and fate. From the magnificence of Giza to the enigmatic oracles of Delphi, their trajectories diverge: Jacob confronts the iron onslaught of Persia, while Dan engages in a perilous ballet of desire beneath the Pharaoh's scrutiny. Hami skillfully intertwines intense action with philosophical reflections, creating a tapestry of survival where trust deteriorates like weather-beaten sails. Fans of epic historical fiction will be engulfed in this unyielding, salt-laden saga until its concluding, resounding surge. Highly recommended. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
