Inherited Shame

Arun Colbert is the half white/half black illegitimate son of a Royal Navy deserter. He turns to the war-torn waters off the Carolinas to hide from his shame, to redeem himself, and to find and slay a man he's never met - a man who murdered Arun's father and sold his mother into slavery. From the decks of a merchant vessel to those of an American privateer, Arun fights the British Navy, pirates, and the images of shame that push him toward an end he cannot see. Here is the story wherein the lives of both honorable and dishonorable men are spent or spared according to the whims of wind and tide, love and prejudices, sin and politics. Here are characters and occurrences brought from America's youth - a time of conflicting acts and emotions that would change forever the rights of men and nations.Gibbs, Michael A. is the author of 'Inherited Shame ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781589399433 and ISBN 1589399439.
