Slave to Fortune is an award-winning historical novel.
Tom Cheke's world is turned upside down when he is kidnapped from his home by Barbary corsairs during an audacious night raid. Sold into slavery in 17th-century Algiers, Tom carves out a promising, new life only to have it shattered once more. Another twist of fate throws him into the hands of a Scottish knight of the Order of St John and into a turbulent world of ciphers, spies, and assassinations.
This is a remarkable account of how a young man comes of age, grasping life from the setbacks of fortune. It is a tale of friendship and reconciliation, of intrigue and deceit, in which trust is betrayed and deep-rooted beliefs and values are cast into doubt.
In Slave to Fortune, D.J. Munro skilfully captures a bygone era of galleons and gunpowder as the plot twists from the alleyways of Algiers, through the splendor of Malta and the canals of Venice to maritime Portsmouth and the rustic charms of the Isle of Wight.
With echoes of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel Kidnapped and J. Meade Falkner's Moonfleet, Slave to Fortune is an uplifting, intelligent book that will spark curiosity and keep listeners enthralled.

While I listen to many different genres of books[Fiction ,historical fiction,fantasy,Sci-Fi,history etc.] one of my favorite listens are sailing ships -British Navy- Horatio Hornblower stuff. Slave to fortune promised such a book from the description & cover but it is really about what happens to a kidnapped young man sold into slavery. It is an interesting story that holds your interest and piques your curiousity.However it is not my cup of tea.
