The Tempest: Part Two of The Assiduous Quest of Tobias Hopkins

by James Faro

Brush aside all we have been told about the past. In this series, 17th-century trader Tobias Hopkins takes you on an exciting journey in the New World, an adventure fraught with personal conflicts and the many challenges presented to those who dare to venture into the Americas.
Tobias Hopkins has found a new life on the Island of Jamaica. But it soon becomes clear that those closest to him are in imminent danger. The cryptic message written by his father could solve the situation; a message with a promise of a bright future that sets Toby on a course for the Island of Nevis. All optimism is short-lived when the Dunstan is outmanned by the very people who have been tracking Toby’s activities. However, Beatrice, the mulatto stowaway, has a preternatural way of leading Toby and his crew to safety.
