John Haggard, egotistical slaveowner and protagonist, romps through this story and the world he inhabits without a care for anyone-not his wife, his mistress, his slaves, or his children. This man's ego, juxtaposed against the backdrop of slavery in the Caribbean, and in England, sends us a chilling reminder that this brutal institution was fueled by brutal, brutish men just like Haggard.Reader, Clifford Norgate, keeps you captivated with his spellbinding rendering of the characters. While there may be flaws in the writing, they are never betrayed by Norgate's subtle performance of this tragic, historical saga.This is a must read if you are a fan of this genre. Highly recommended!
