About This Item
St. Clare Audio, 2015. Audio CD. New . 7x2x0. LAST ONE! New 2 Audio CDs for a total of 2 hours and 1 minutes. Sealed in Original Plastic. A short historical fiction, set during the American Civil War which gives air to the work of those daring shipmen and their worthy vessels, known as "The Blockade Runners". In this story a Scottish merchant, Captain James Playfair, in desperation at the interruption of the flow of Southern cotton due to the Union blockade, determines to build his own fast ship and run guns and food to the Confederates in Charleston, South Carolina. He sells his cargo at high prices, in exchange for low prices on the cotton piling up unsold on their wharves. Mid story a couple of unexpected passengers are discovered, one being a Miss Jenny Halliburtt, who boards the ship secretly in attempt to reach and rescue her father, who has been imprisoned by General Beauregard in Charleston. Captain James, impressed by her gallantry, brave attitude, and frank behavior, promises to help rescue her father. Not the typical Science-Fiction that Jules Verne was known for, but a short, adventurous, and enjoyable historical novel, which throws in a sweet and innocent romantic thread for good measure, one that is quite refreshing among the typical media of our day and age. Recording read by Mark F. Smith.
