FERO (a novel)


FERO: aka: Jamie; Tarka; Trevor.

by

LEE A. WOOD

In a Nutshell.

An imaginary lad, Trevor is born in Ireland. Jamie is shanghaied into the Royal Navy, and shipwrecked on the shores of Africa.

Tarka and his young family are captured and sent to America. As a slave on a large plantation he plans his escape, and revenge.

Trevor's return to Africa is interrupted by the `New York Riots.' (My novel follows an historic timeline.)

Helping some runaway slaves escape to Canada he is sought by bounty hunters.

Trevor tries to start a new life in Canada but his young family is torn apart by the Fenians.

After joining the `Wolseley Expedition' he serves as a guard at the Ft. Garry Penitentiary before becoming a member of the North West Mounted Police and taking part in the `Two Thousand Mile Trek'.

Fero, after serving as a U. S. Marshall, is finally reunited with his second wife and returns to Africa.

Or does he?
