About this ebook

For centuries, the Tatars of the Crimea have captured and sold more European slaves than have ever been taken out of Africa. This is the story of some of them.

 

In 1882, as the British capture Alexandria, Amanishakete is given the gift of an ancient codices written by St Clement that hints of a lost library in the Crimea. Invited to an audience with Queen Victoria, the Queen asks Amanishakete and Sabine to rescue her niece, who's been captured by Elbrus Yakhin the leader of a heartless gang of slave trading Tatars.

 

Their mission takes them to Malta, then as pirates to North Africa and the Crimea where, joined by Colonel John Bartholomew-Pearce an agent of the Court of St James, Amanishakete becomes ensnared in Otto von Bismark's secret plans to rule Europe when an agent of Bismark tries to kill them while travelling to Germany on the new Express d'Orient, and Amani falls in love.

Author

John C De Groot

Albert Einstein said that ‘it is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge’. That was certainly the case with my high school history teacher, who brought history alive and started my fascination in Ancient and Early Modern history. There are countless mysteries that still remain unsolved and I have a real suspicion that we have lost or forgotten more knowledge than we have ever gained. After a career in business, business support and as a trainer for Dale Carnegie, I did some consulting. It was a client who once said to me that ‘I was a useful man to have around’, based to some degree on my ability with the written word. When retirement loomed his words, my interest in history and a very patient and supportive wife encouraged me to ‘put pen to paper’ and with heart in hand resulted in my first book ‘The Quest for Eternal Life', the first in the ‘Last Librarian’ Series. That was several books ago in a growing portfolio.
