New York: Forge, 1996. First Edition, First Printing. Cloth and boards. Fine/Fine. 8vo, cloth and boards, archival polyester-protected pictorial dust jacket (unclipped) depicting a sailing vessel in a hesavy sea; 383 pages. A scion of a wealthy New York family named Justin Savage signs on to one of his father's clipper ships. When the ship is attacked by pirates, he is enslaved to a Chinese woman in China. Thereafter, Justin's adventures take him to Victorian England, Italy where he has a love affair with a countess; then back to China where he foils the Dowager Empress. <br/> <br/> Fred Mustard Stewart (1932 - 2007) was an American novelist. His most popular books were The Mephisto Waltz (1969), adapted for a 1971 film starring Alan Alda; Six Weeks (1976), made into a 1982 film starring Mary Tyler Moore; Century, a New York Times best-seller in 1981; and Ellis Island (1983), which became a CBS mini-series in 1984.<br/> <br/> Exciting historical fiction in great shape: tight, bright, clean copy in a comparable unclipped dust jacket and no previous or remainder marks.
