World Odyssey by Lance and James Morcan is the epic tale of three completely different characters, set in the mid 1800’s it follows their tumultuous and often dangerous exploits as they journey across continents to eventually arrive in the South Pacific island of Fiji.Nathan Johnson lives in Philadelphia. He’s the son of a wealthy but violent father and after running away at 12 he ends up working on his uncle’s boat which is shipwrecked and he is captured and enslaved by members of the Makah Tribe.Susannah Drake lives in England. The much loved daughter of a Methodist minister and his wife. Life will drastically change when at 22 she accompanies her father on a long and perilous voyage to Fiji to open a mission station.Jack Halliday is a loveable, engaging and cheeky Cockney lad but after stealing from his unsavoury employer he is arrested and sent to serve time in a penal colony in New South Wales.Three very different lives, three very different journeys ahead but destiny has decreed that eventually their paths will cross.A great read, I loved this book and certainly recommend it- happy reading everyone!
