About this ebook
Set in the 17th century on Manhattan Island - at the time, a land of hills, woods and streams - Manhattan Legacy tells the story of two young men. One, Jan De Kuyper, is a rapist and killer, the other, Marc Storm, seeks justice for his victim. Tomas Van Orden is a pirate hunter seeking to right a wrong.
With little else to go on in his search for the killer other than a scribbled initial in a ledger naïve apprentice Storm is drawn to New Amsterdam. He also takes with him the dreams of an old man.
Son of a ruthless merchant De Kuyper is determined to pursue his ambitions whatever the cost to others.
Manhattan Legacy is set against a backdrop of slavery, pirates, Native Americans and the colonisation of the New World by feuding European nations.
Trading is the backbone of survival and the New World offers untold wealth, but that also brings with it greed, treachery and murder.
Pioneering settlers sought freedom from religious persecution, European wars, poverty and social repression. A new beginning in the New World beckoned.
Pre-Wall Street this story is about the settlement of New Amsterdam and the beginnings of New York.
