Slave to Fortune is a captivating historical adventure.

Tom Cheke’s world is turned upside-down when he is kidnapped from his home on the Isle of Wight by Barbary corsairs during an audacious night raid.

Sold into slavery in seventeenth-century Algiers, Tom carves out a new and promising life only to have it shattered once more when another twist of fate throws him into the hands of a Scottish knight of the Order of St John and into a turbulent world of ciphers, spies and assassinations.

Tom’s memoir is a remarkable account of how a boy comes of age, grasping life from the setbacks of fortune. It is a tale of friendship and reconciliation, of intrigue and deceit, in which trust is betrayed and deep-rooted beliefs and values are cast into doubt.

In Slave to Fortune, DJ Munro skilfully captures a bygone era of galleons and gunpowder. Pirates and secret agents cross swords with crusading knights as the plot twists from the alleyways of Algiers, through the splendour of Malta and the canals of Venice, to maritime Portsmouth and the rustic charms of the Isle of Wight.

With echoes of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Kidnapped and J. Meade Falkner’s Moonfleet, Slave to Fortune is an uplifting, intelligent adventure. Suitable for all ages from teens upwards, it will spark curiosity and keep readers enthralled.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A cleverly crafted tale of intrigue and adventure. By Lucy Lee Slave to Fortune is an extremely enjoyable read. It harks back to the seventeenth century when the seas around Europe were rife with pirates and when dodgy dealings between high-ranking politicians, Royals, clergy and businessmen were the way of the world. Drawing on a wide range of historical detail, from smuggling on the Isle of Wight to raids from Barbary corsairs, this story takes you on an unforgettable journey with the affable Thomas Cheke. This tale will appeal to a range of readers who enjoy an adventure. It is reminiscent of Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped with the added intrigue of decoding a cipher and visitations of exotic lands.

A lot of research had gone into this book, and the historical narrative felt right. Decoding a cryptic puzzle and an insight into the life and times of the boy from the Isle of Wight as he feel into the hands of pirateers and then slave owners had me wanting to know how it would all come out. A great read.
