The Devil'S Admiral

Beschreibung

A fog-bound harbour, a cunning admiral, and a voyage that tests the sea's temper. The Devil's Admiral invites you into a late nineteenth¿century maritime world where danger, charm, and cunning collide on a vast, sunlit horizon. This nautical adventure novel blends brisk pulp energy with historical texture, offering a sea bound thriller that channels piracy intrigue, naval espionage, and perilous cross¿currents of empire. Its compact, action¿driven form rewards readers with fast-paced voyage and peril, while its layered themes-duty, honour, betrayal, and the cost of ambition-invite deeper reflection. For lovers of complete sea stories and illustrated nautical editions, this book stands as a map of colonial era maritime tales, brought to life in a Caribbean sea setting that feels both exotic and recognisable to historical fiction readers. The work holds lasting literary and historical significance, a touchstone for the era's popular imagination and a showcase of period maritime prose. It appeals to casual readers seeking brisk, immersive adventure and to classic¿literature collectors who value provenance, tone, and atmosphere. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition treats The Devil's Admiral as more than a story: a heritage piece of maritime culture, ready to inspire new generations of readers.

Autor

Frederick Ferdinand Moore was an early 20th-century American author known for his adventure fiction that often took place in exotic locales. His narrative style was characterized by fast-paced plots and vivid descriptions that transported readers to the distant settings of his stories. One of Moore's notable works is 'The Devil's Admiral' (1923), a tale of mystery and intrigue on the high seas. In this book, Moore showcased his talent for blending suspense with maritime adventure, and his proficiency in constructing engaging characters. While not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Moore contributed to the genre of nautical adventure at a time when public fascination with far-off lands and the lure of the ocean was at a high. His works cater to the tastes of those who yearned for escapism through stories of danger, treasure, and swashbuckling exploits. Although not much is widely known about his personal life or the full breadth of his literary production, Moore's 'The Devil's Admiral' remains a testament to his ability to capture the imagination of his readers, holding a place in the canon of early adventure literature.
