    About this audiobook

    This novel confronts the ordeals encountered by Magnus McAulay who shipped-out from the Isle of Man in search of adventure. Before his nineteenth birthday, the youth of mixed Celtic and Norse blood, had endured electrifying escapades whilst sailing the seven seas. More worldwide exploits enlivened Magnus's journeys with some chilling encounters until he was cast ashore in Australia where he wholeheartedly embraced the New World's 'av-a- go-yer- mug' lifestyle. A brief encounter with the secretive and unregulated world of fine arts, and the unexpected arrival in the Beyond, where everything is new, transcendental and inexplicably, propelled Magnus into an eternal state of expecting the unexpected.
