The first has come and gone and it’s time for the November giveaway.
This month I’m giving away Pirate City by R.M. Ballantyne.
The Pirate City is the story of the Algerian pirates who were the scourge of the Mediterranean sea during the early to mid-1800s. They would plunder the ships of other sovereign nations, and as a result were a wealthy little city-state, until their demise in the Barbary War. In this story, set during the heyday of the pirates, a merchant and his sons Mariano and Lucien are captured aboard their trading vessel, and taken as prisoners to the pirate capital of Algiers. A rousing tale, the reader will follow their adventures to rescue other prisoners, experience life in the pirate city, and join in their attempts to escape. Forced to endure slavery as “Christian dogs before their Muslim captors,” the heroes rely on Providence to bring deliverance, and ultimately win their freedom through their friendship with the Dey — the ruler of the city. R.M. Ballantyne actually spent time in Algiers and dressed himself as an Arabian to research this book, and its historical accuracy is amazing as the reader learns about life with the Algerian pirates.
You can buy this book at Vision Forum for $22, or you can enter my giveaway. But you should do both. That way, if you win it you’ll have one to loan out. I am a big believer in loaning out great books. But I like to have a copy dedicated as a loaner.
The Rules:
- You may enter only once for this giveaway.
- Ok, if you blog about it you may have another entry, just come back and let me know you did.
- This giveaway is only open to mailing addresses in the continental 48.
- I’ll choose a winner on Friday, November 28th.
- To enter click on this link to get to Vision Forum, browse around a bit, and come back and leave a comment telling which product you would most like to see under your Christmas tree this year.
