Book Description
An innocent whaling vessel by day, the Jehovah by night was as black as Africa's heart, for she trafficked in human lives.Below her decks men were packed like animals, their necks shackled together, their legs in chains. The Jehovah was a slave ship.
Her sailors kept order with whips, and the stench of human degradation below decks was so vile that not even the fanatic Captain Andrew, could bear to descend among the slaves.
Was he Saint or Devil, this strange, compelling Captain Andrew, who stooped to the lowest level of human lust, yet preached the message of the living God.
Joey and Nick rebelled against the mighty Captain, and were abruptly left in a festering hole in the jungle swamp to rot. They foung no escape, for even here the bloody hand of Captain Andrew imprisoned them. Here was the very heart of the slave trade, with exotic woman, rare wines, and a fortune to be made in human flesh.
