The electronic version of Die a Dry Death (see below) has been released under a new title, To Die a Dry Death, with a new cover. To celebrate the move to a new publisher, I’ve added new material explaining the evolution of the novel. Reviews…
Shipwrecked on an unknown shore, their gravest peril came from within.
June 1629. The Dutch merchantman Batavia, sailing on its maiden voyage to the East Indies from Amsterdam, ploughs into an uncharted reef thirty miles off the coast of Terra Incognita Australis – the unknown south land.
In a desperate attempt to find fresh water and help, the ship’s officers leave the survivors on an uninhabited island, and set out in an overcrowded, open boat on a two-thousand-mile journey across uncharted waters.
They have no idea that, while they are gone, from amongst the survivors will emerge a tyrant every bit as brutal and deadly as the reef on which they were wrecked.
