A looming invasion. A doomed voyage... There’s blood in the water. Philippe Kermorvant, unfairly dismissed from the French Revolutionary Navy, accepts command of a privateer from its enigmatic owner. Having ignored his early misgivings, the mission quickly takes a dark turn, endangering the lives of everyone on board. Meanwhile, the British prepare for an assault on the French mainland. Lord Wilden, Philippe’s cousin, is charged with overseeing the mission. As the revolutionary forces savagely clash with the combined strength of the British naval power and the French royalist rebels still harkening for the return of the monarchy, defeat for either side will prove utterly devastating. And Philippe, stuck far away from the action, will have to contend not just with the impending destruction of his own future, but the risk of losing everyone he holds dear. An utterly compelling Age of Sail adventure told in fascinating detail from each side of the conflict from a renowned naval historian.

For an urban English-speaker in the twenty-first century, the original language of Dante Alighieri's Inferno, the first act of his trilogy, the Comedy, would read like a shockingly accurate critique of today's globalized society, if we could understand it. Dante's Inferno: A Wanderer in Hell gives second-millennial English-language readers a chance to share the pathos, the humor, and the raw political aggression of Dante's vision of Hell. Dante's Inferno: A Wanderer in Hell preserves the meaning of Dante's verses, line by line. Where a literal translation of his highly philosophical but often slang-rich text will not make sense for the twenty-first century English-speaking reader, the most reasonable compromise of the literal and figurative is used. Written in exile from Florence, Dante's Inferno speaks to those of us today who question our own and our societies' values. Dante, lost in the middle of his lifetime, wanders behind Virgil down the narrow safe passage through Hell's increasingly nightmarish suffering. On this horrendous journey, Dante will come to understand the consequences of the social evils running rampant in Europe's cancerously spreading empire that values profits more than people and teaches its citizens to prize their own personal pleasure above principle, spreading sexual license, gang turf war, and international political and religious violence.
