Beyond the Ocean's Edge: A Stone Island Sea Story
Hotchkiss continued on. �Ed! You didn�t see it?� The use of his captain�s first name on deck attested to the first lieutenant�s growing apprehension and maddening confusion.
�See what, Isaac, my old friend?� Pierce recognized his comrade�s state of mind and did not correct his lapse of quarterdeck etiquette. Clearly, a more personal and comfortable approach was needed.
�The stars! The stars, Ed! We weren�t just looking up at them. We were amongst them. There was the sea, and then there wasn�t. And the stars were below us as well! And we were there, right among them, like we were the stars themselves, or the moon or...�
�I�m sure you saw what you�ve described. Unfortunately, I chanced not to see it, although I have had a strange feeling of timelessness.�
Is it possible to sail beyond the ocean�s edge to another world? In 1802 Royal Navy Lieutenant Edward Pierce is ashore on half pay because of the Peace of Amiens. He fortunately gains command of a vessel searching for a lost, legendary island. When the island is found, Pierce and his shipmates discover that it exists in an entirely different but similar world. Exploring the seas around Stone Island, HMS Island Expedition sails headlong into an arena of mistaken identities, violent naval battles, strange truces, dangerous liaisons, international intrigue, superstition, and ancient prophecies. Detained by that world�s equivalent of Great Britain, Pierce struggles to free his ship and crew. Despondent over giving up his ship and possibly never seeing his beloved Evangeline again, Pierce�s outlook brightens when he discovers new-found friends working to liberate him and his crew. With time he comes to understand the prophesied role he and his companions are to play in that other world.
