Three Sheets To The Wind

Leave the comforts of home and sail to Africa and the West Indies.
Fall in love with beautiful women.
Kill people.
Trade slaves and wine.
Face the death penalty for killing an English soldier.
It's the year 1800, and this is young Martin's life now.

---

Imagine a time when a fifteen-year-old is expected to take on the tasks of an adult.
Imagine a time when only a few consider slavery to be evil; when England and Napoleon are heading for war.
That time was the year 1800.

A romantic encounter with a disastrous outcome. A plan to save the family economy. A suspicious accident. An unexpected voyage. Young Martin finds himself an active participant in the West African slave trade.
Copenhagen, to Portsmouth, to Madeira, to Freetown, to Accra, to St. Croix. Martin meets new friends and enemies, romance, deadly peril, and personal tragedy.

On the scorched soil of Africa, he reaches his breaking point, before duty sweeps him westwards to the West Indies.
