Peter Bois, one of the wealthiest men on Nantucket, is a successful businessman but a failure as husband and father. Consumed by running his plastics company, he is blinded to what's most important in life; family, community, and giving back.
That all changes while on a picnic at the beach with his wife and kids. Sucked under by a riptide, Peter is thrust back nearly two hundred years, landing on the deck of a Nantucket whaleship. The world he knew was gone: his thriving company, his alienated family, his beloved Nantucket family home, his jet, his privileged life. All are far in the future and out of his grasp.
Catapulted into the dangerous and demanding world of 19th-century whaling, Peter is no longer a one-percenter but a greenhand, clueless to life aboard and ignorant to what is expected of him. His privilege gone, he must struggle to survive the brutal conditions of a whaleship and come to grips with life nearly two centuries in the past as the ship pursues whales and battles storms thousands of miles out to sea. His goal? Survive long enough to figure out how to get back to his own time where he can reunite with his family and right his many wrongs.
In this engaging and innovative debut novel, Garth Jeffries delivers a thrilling, fast-paced adventure that will leave you on the edge of your seat. It is a captivating and engaging tale of a man's journey - and redemption - through time.
