The Captain of the Jehovah

A dramatic novel of a slave ship plying illicitly off the coast of New Guiana. Its hair-raising adventures, the escape from chains and subsequent mutiny of the slaves, and the character of the fantastic skipper who ruled the Jehovah's destinies make this one of the most remarkable stories of its kind ever published. Johnston Kerkhoff who read this manuscript for us wrote: "I think The Captain of the Jehovah is swell. It has the touch that 'Antony Adverse' had, is well written and rings as true as a factual story. I've read quite a lot about the slave trade and 'The Captain' sticks to facts. I couldn't put the book down, yet at the same time I did not race through it, for the dialogue is excellent, and the old captain's fanaticism fascinating. I would have liked 500 more pages, yet I do believe that much of the charm of the book is due to its brevity. I vote for 'The Captain' 100 per cent". Of the author's last book, The New York Times said: "The story is told with a vim and sweep and gusto that places it head and shoulders above most books of the type." And the Manchester Guardian said: "Mr. Drake is to be congratulated on having produced the best story of its kind since Conrad's 'Rescue'."
