The New World

Summary

THE END OF THE WORLD
OR THE BEGINNING…

On to the shores of Texas a raging sea coughs up two castaways: Jim and Natty, shipwrecked on their way home from Treasure Island.

The Nightingale sunk, their silver gone, captured, weak and afraid, the pair steal a treasure they should have left well alone.

The adventure of the New World lies in wait…
