White Seed: The Untold Story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke
One of the most haunting mysteries in American history — The Lost Colony of Roanoke — comes roaring back to life in White Seed.
From Publishers Weekly: White Seed…hews closely to the record of Sir Walter Raleigh’s second doomed attempt to plant the British flag in Virginia… The depiction of the colony’s physical and moral disintegration between 1587 and 1590 — as drunken, cannibalistic soldiers mutiny and brutalize the settlers they were meant to protect, and as colonists confront disease, starvation and madness — evokes a harrowing sense of human fallibility. Readers…will find this saga, which…soon achieves page-turner velocity, to be both a dandy diversion and an entertaining education.
