The Rising Sun
Description
The Rising Sun. A Novel by Douglas Galbraith. Being a True Account of the Voyage of the Great Ship of that name, the Author's adventures in the Wastes of the New World, and his attendance at the Crimes and Betrayals that have so lately Aggrieved these Islands. The Rising Sun is a tour de force of historical fiction from a major new talent, an extraordinary first novel that vividly brings to life the age of adventure. In 1698, five vessels led by the flagship Rising Sun embarked on a perilous voyage for the northern coast of what is now Panama, where the passengers intended to found a colony at Darien. With them went the hopes and fortunes of the nation of Scotland, which sought to build an overseas empire so that it could at last compete on the world stage with its rival England.
