Slave Ship book cover

Slave Ship

Jerrold Mundis

Experience the harrowing realities of the American slave trade in this powerful and gut-wrenching novel. Follow the voyage of the Jubilation - a slaving ship captained by a quietly lethal man who sees his job as a chance to play God. Alongside a proud Ashanti warrior who refuses to submit to his chains, a sadistic youth who uses slaves for his own pleasures, and a journalist who journeys incognito to expose the atrocities of the trade, readers are taken on a gripping journey with mounting tension between whites and blacks. This novel annihilates the myths of black African docility and white humanity, and offers true perspective on an era of shame. With hair-raising adventure on the high seas and a shattering climax, this is not a story for the faint of heart.
