From Beyond
It's the aftermath of the second opium war in Southeast Asia. Declan Malcolm, the newly elected captain, must lead a crew of sailors to navigate the treacherous high seas while protecting goods for a local triad leader, Three-Finger Tang.
At the same time, Civil War veterans Ridley and Dranoff are adjusting to post-reconstruction and become mercenaries for hire.
Both groups seek purpose to their life, and their paths cross by chance. But when a celebration of good fortune turns dangerous, the mariners and soldiers must join forces to vanquish a supernatural foe - or die trying.
Historical fiction meets bone-chilling horror in Andrew Davie's 'From Beyond', a story set in the dangerous high seas of late 19th century Asia.

Davie brings us some 19th Century adventure this time around as we follow two bands of men, one in the South China Sea and another in their lives breaking up strikes after having fought together in the American Civil War.
This is a brisk, exciting tale with a cast of unique characters involved in derring-do and with affairs of the heart complicating matters too.
It's a great example of Davie's strengths as a writer and a great place to start if you've never read any of his work.
