Retribution: The Stanfield Chronicles
Retribution begins in 1620. A grieving Isaac Stanfield heads out across the Atlantic Ocean.
After the Mayflower sails for the new world, Isaac has been sent to explore the potential for trade and further settlements in New England. His efforts are frustrated by the incompetence and duplicity of the people with whom he has to deal. This second book in the Stanfield Chronicles series continues with Isaac’s love of adventure, his courage, and ingenuity being fully tested, his fascination with and respect for the native peoples he meets.
Isaac’s life consists of blue water sailing adventures, kidnapping, smuggling, pirates, torture and romance, on two continents, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. A life lived on the edge while he attempts to protect those he loves.
The story is captivating, the research meticulous. A book to be bought and enjoyed. It is an excellent read.
David Tory has sailed the coast of Massachusetts and Maine for 30 years. He brings other settings alive through his familiarity with Dorset, England, and his intimate knowledge of Bermuda and its waters. Years of research give his books a firm grounding in historic facts and figures while allowing his imagination to use his fictional characters to tell a compelling story of the turbulent early history of New England.

About the author
David Tory
3 books26 followersI spent over 30 years in the computer industry, starting in the UK in 1962. This was followed by 13 years with the Essex County Community Foundation which I co-founded in 1998. I live on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, with Helen, my wife of 48 years.
After retiring from ECCF, I felt the urge to research the origins of philanthropy in New England. My research uncovered facts about the early settlements here that appeared to be generally unknown. As I delved deeper, the character Isaac Stanfield evolved to become the observer and participant in that early history.
Boats have been a part of my life from an early age. After moving to the United States in 1980, Helen and I spent over 30 years sailing our 37′ Pearson. We fell in love with the coast of Maine, its history, the bays, islands, fog, and abundant wildlife.
