White Scar, the Ship Wrecker

WHITE SCAR, THE SHIP WRECKER is a fast-paced re-imagining of Melville's Moby Dick. There's no need for the reader to have a nautical dictionary at his side and it can be read during a weekend. Moby Dick is a very thick book: it's 650 pages of small print and is as much of a whaling manual as it is a novel. But - and there's always a "but" when people talk about Melville's epic - you'll rarely meet anyone who hasn't heard of Captain Ahab, Ishmael, and the great white whale. At its heart, the novel contains an unforgettable story and, even better, great questions: what does God want, what does He demand, and how should we react when the "old man" whispers in our ear? WHITE SCAR contains those same classic characteristics but is in tune with 21st century readers. Author's Website: www.LeeSmyth.com
